Sometimes decisions are made top down with little to no involvement from middle management. Although they have peer recognition programs in place I don't think management does enough to recognize the efforts of their employees -- especially their managers. The extensive collaboration can at times drag projects out because everyone has to be involved and have their say in the project. As a larger company now -- Google seems to be far more process and structure driven -- partly out of necessity -- but it has changed the overall attitude and work environment.

Google is now a very big company, and decisions involve a lot of people -- some times it's hard to get things done even if they seem simple.
