Fortune Magazine published a fairly long but tremendously interesting article about Google. “Instead of the usual exultation over PageRank algorithm and Larry-and-Sergey biographies, we get a different message—is Google growing up, and is trouble brewing at Google? Here’s Fortune’s description of the pre-IPO days: ‘Google has grown arrogant, making some of its executives as frustrating to deal with in negotiations as AOL’s cowboy salesmen during the bubble. It has grown so fast that employees and business partners are often confused about who does what. A rise of stock—and option—stoked greed is creating rifts within the company. Employees carp that Google is morphing in strange and nerve-racking ways.”
