Employees are spoiled children, more concerned about whether they are getting cupcakes in the afternoon than with career development or receiving useful feedback. Middle managers in Sales are useless: no decision power, no direct business involvement. Promotions have ground to a halt at Google. Curve-based calibration of employees' performance assures nobody is ever rewarded for good performance. Most new employees can expect "Meet expectations' feedback for at least a year. Low-performers are never punished and outlast good performers. Company is losing talent fast.

SMB is a joke, the managers don't even know how to use an excel spreadsheet or do a power point. Some of them might not even know the difference from CPA or CPM. Why they are managers? Simple as that, there are two heads that control everything and they promote people who praises them. One is ex photographer assistant who practices nepotism all the time and the other is a socialist. And why Google keep them there? Because you Dont need good people to do the work asked. Even monkeys could work in SMB Brazil. Google hiring bar has decreased a lot in the last few years, HR is doing a terrible job lately, skilled people Dont wanna work there. Why? Its not a good place to be anymore, the money is terrible and they try to sell you a glamour thing. Who lives on Glamour nowadays? Google Brazil and SMB are totally overrated. If you are a kid that wanna show off as the coolest hipster person in a fratty party, that's the place for you. If you aren't, its a trap.
