Summary
A former Google employee said the company is inefficient, plagued by mismanagement and paralyzed by risk. He said Google has lost its way and has four core cultural problems: no mission, no urgency, delusions of exceptionalism, and mismanagement. He said employees are trapped in long lines of approvals and legal reviews, and that the company is hyper-focused on risk mitigation. He said Google has a chance to turn things around, but it needs to lead with commitment to mission, reward people who fight for ambitious causes, and trim layers of middle management.
