What is the worst part of working in Google?

In these hours is bouncing on a variety of on-line newspapers a fiery topic on Google. A question on Quora seemingly trivial the answers to which are destroying the white image that over the years they have built from the parts of Mountain View. What's the worst part about working at Google? Many comments are anonymous because someone is better to remain so for avoid bad trouble.

Writes the anonymous contribution from the most voted:

"The worst part about working in Google is that many people are over-qualified for the work they do. It 'hard to get promoted quickly because those above you, or at your level, has a good education and is very dedicated to work. When the general level of people is high and the work is not particularly difficult, it is very hard to emerge. The work is intellectually unrewarding (read boring as well) and it is difficult to feel a sense of accomplishment for what you do. "

Another user added:

"I'd say the worst part of working in Google is the clash every day with the thought of the typical mediocre middle managment, often completely focused only on metrics to the exclusion of other factors. They do not know how to inspire their workforce and rely too much on the name and reputation of Google. "

Moving the question about the products, a user highlights an interesting point, which dismantles the creative spirit that you would breathe in the corridors company (which had already been questioned in March of last year from a post by James Whittaker , a former Google engineer):

Larry Page, co-founder and CEO of Google during the I / O developers conference May 15, 2013.

"The only really great products that are pulled out of the Google search and AdSense. Android was purchased. YouTube the same.Google+ is a flop for all except for the Googlers around the world.Chrome is a good product but does not monetize. I bet that 14 years after his birth, the only decent product that will be released by Google will be the Glass. And guess who is the Project Manager?Sergey Brin. "

As if to say that major projects are managed at the highest levels ousting all the employees that instead seem to be engaged in the most ordinary activities.

"I worked at Google for three years and I admit that it was very hard to leave, but there was one factor, above all, that helped me to make this decision: the impact I could bring to the business as an individual would be insignificant. As someone noted above, and Google has become an incredible machine that prints money with AdWords. You are just a piece that serves to grease the gears of this mechanism and nothing else. "

And then:

"I left Google for several reasons. Everything is already established. It 'almost impossible to have an impact in the choices and be influential as they were the first employees. Most of the time I spent maintaining existing services in business rather than working on something new. "

"Unfortunately, beyond that which is the common belief, the average level of the engineers working on Google is mediocre. And they are also very arrogant. Everyone believes (males first of all) to be better than the next. The discussions are objective rather rare and no one is interested in the opinions of others unless they are some sort of important deity within Google. "

"I worked in the largest after Google's Mountain View campus. The most challenging part that I encountered was the only interview to the interview. "

"There is a constant reorganization and prioritization of projects so that you do not you ever get the chance to finish something before the project is canceled."
