Google - Incapable Indian Management.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good food, fun environment, employee friendly for the managers and their preferred candidates (read yes men/women) and holiday gifts.

Cons

An Indian management which believes in following diktats from California and does not have the guts to challenge them, an appraisal system which is opaque and biased towards yes men and women and based on everything else apart from performance. An HR system which gives more credence to brand than to talent and where only one talent rules - communication skills.

Pros

Google is an amazing company. Innovative, passionate, insisting and investing to stay young, and continuously trying to improve

Cons

Google sucks when it comes to bringing on board new talent with a strong and accomplished caliber and assisting its integration into the operations. Instead of making the younger and less experienced work-force absorb the experience and Know-How, Google embraced a weak and overly flat environment which allows the least experienced ones set the tone and fight off external Know-How and experience. That's not really a company that wants to change but rather a company that it suffers from massive turn-over in sales and business operations and instead of fighting it off with a confident infusion of experience operations leader, it created an overly flat and 'fuzzy' environment, where everyone is obsessed with trying to please others and be sweet on the expense of doing the right thing.
