from titan to titanic, with unqualified leaders at the helm
Pros
Benefits, which may be the first thing to go once reality catches up with Google.
Cons
Where to start, I'm so wildly disappointed by what Google has become and seems hell bent on preserving. Leaders: we do not have real leaders, we have people who in the earliest and least experienced parts of their career were lucky enough to land at Google and never left. Our CEO is not a business leader by training. Our CMO has had her job for over 20 years (red flag). Our CPO is MIA because we operate in such silos. Career: Join Google if you want to be severely under-leveled, have your experience minimized, be patronizingly led by people less qualified and less experienced than you, and have near zero prospects for upward mobility. Future: This company has no strategy. All you have to do is follow the news to see Google as a company woefully out of touch with the rest of the world. We have no clue how to do marketing, which is obvious from Bard to the graveyard of things we've killed off. I do not believe the future is bright given current leadership, and see a change unlikely until stuff hits the fans.
