Google Cloud reviews

Google culture is amazing however Google Cloud culture is now similar to other big-tech companies Toxic leaders and managers Micromanagement Complex processes and tools Lack of resources (doers) to execute well. Too many people are just managing, not knowing the details on how to execute to win, and focusing only on constant reorganisation and politics

GCP is a distant #3 in cloud platforms and not clear how / when this will change... which leads to... perennial resourcing challenges... which leads to... high turnover, pressure cooker environment vs. other parts of Google. Too many decisions are very short term revenue driven leading to a lot of tech debt and failure to invest in some key areas (for ex., AI). Some senior managers (director / VP) are surprisingly clueless about the domains they're managing. As we get deeper into the TK reign, the org as a whole is getting a lot more top-down, dictatorial, and unfortunately, political.
