• Easy to get in without much technical skill (little technical interview or none even).
• Can still be around without any technical skill, provided that one is good at manipulating or strategizing long-term to offload hard tasks to others.

About 75% are contractors, and one will get in there as a contractor to get offloaded easily. Thus, long time off can be taken at one's own salary.

Even full-time employees have to punch a time card, not more than 40 hours, while working well past over 40 hours. (Why bother with a time card to begin with then?)

The ridiculous security restraints for IT equipment and the workplace are like Orwell's 1984 and not an encouraging place for free and creative people. (Thus, most of the work produced in-house has such a horrible UI, and management takes pride in these poor designs since they come from those who do not have any aesthetic taste!)

Don't think that "Google is the best partner and the worst enemy." Leave out the "worst enemy" part with the kind of attitude toward your creative workforce. An uninviting, Orwellian 1984 workplace and poor recruitment mean you can never compete with Google to call them your worst enemy.
