It's a mixed bag of Google's internal infrastructure is amazing, but the company has culture and operational challenges. Just from the bottom half, mostly headings:
> Most problems aren’t worth Google’s time, but surprising ones are. Most 10-50 million user problems aren’t worth Google's time, and don’t fit their strategy. But they’ll take on significant effort on problems that do fit their nature, strategy, and someone’s promotion goals.
A quiet acknowledgement of the promotion based culture driving product.
> Google is an ever shifting web of goals and efforts.
> Googlers wanted to ship great work, but often couldn’t.
> Top heavy orgs are hard to steer.
> Technical debt is real. So is process debt.
> Amazing things are possible at Google, if you play the right game.
