"content": "<p>Google is a massive company, so there's a lot of people who join or leave every year - and some of the departing individuals feel compelled to post a manifesto rationalizing their decision to move on.</p><p>I spent ~11 years at Google and must have read at least 50 of these, each and every one claiming that the company has "lost its way" in a different fashion. In the end, I stopped paying attention - and I sure wasn't interested in writing my own.</p><p>By the end of the day, it is just a workplace: it has its charms and dysfunctions, just like any other company. A lot of these charms and dysfunctions are not about a unique culture or a particular executive vision; they are a simple function of the company's size, age, revenue structure, and regulatory pressures.</p><p>There's another manifesto making rounds on Hackernews today [1], and I think some of its observations are pretty good; for example, Google is exceptionally risk-averse as a consequence of having a remarkably robust revenue stream (= no need to rock the boat) coupled with extreme legal and regulatory risks (= a lot of downside if you try). But I think it's wrong to paint this as a simple problem that a new CEO or a different perf process could fix. Today, there's no "shoot from the hip" alternative for a preeminent and wildly profitable ad tech company of 200k people. It's a nice dilemma for Google to have, but there's no going back to a startup culture. If you want a fast-paced environment, a clarity of purpose, and a razor-sharp focus on outcomes for your users, you probably have to look somewhere else.</p><p>[1] <a href=\"https://medium.com/@pravse/the-maze-is-in-the-mouse-980c57cfd61a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" translate=\"no\"><span class=\"invisible\">https://</span><span class=\"ellipsis\">medium.com/@pravse/the-maze-is</span><span class=\"invisible\">-in-the-mouse-980c57cfd61a</span></a></p>",
