I want to again be clear about my recent criticisms of Google. I am not
a Google hater, and Google haters' hyperbole is not welcome on my social
media threads. I've worked inside Google and I've only very rarely ever
met a Googler I didn't like. Google's engineers, policy folks, lawyers,
etc. are top notch. World class.
Most of the program managers and technical program managers are great
too.
I put the blame for the continuing series of unforced errors at Google
squarely on the executives in the C-suite.
To be frank, while I certainly had policy disagreements with the
founders, my feeling is that with the departure of Eric and later
Larry and Sergey from day-to-day Google operations, the situation at
Google rapidly turned downhill and is accelerating in that direction.
I believe that Google is not hopeless, but in the current regulatory
and increasingly toxic political environments, the window for positive
change is rapidly closing.
