Lost the magic of google

Pros

The answer of the best part about google is still the people. Some of the smartest people in the world work at google and many are approachable and interested in solving problems.

Cons

Google used to have the culture that they treated their employees well so they really wanted to work there and do amazing things. This is definitely not true anymore. In more and more spaces I’m seeing “how do we do the minimum to make people work”. It’s very disheartening and incredibly difficult to be a manager now.
