How has the author not been fired from Google for such snark? Their Github shows them still employed at the company. Props to this person.

I'm not saying this with the intent of harshly criticizing the author, but I admit it's surprising to me that someone (who had other options) would work for 14 years at a company they clearly came to believe was making the world a worse place.

Honestly, I don't find it that surprising. I mean the whole advertising industry does exist and will continue to do so. Plus, if they didn't directly hate doing the work itself I could see someone tolerating it especially knowing that google's compensation is pretty good.

"Exercise sheets to practice quickly spotting other contributor names and easing them" If the place looks like a Paranoia game, is it evidence that an AI has already took over the place?
It's very different between teams. My personal experience: everyone I've worked with is trying really hard to put me in a position where I can succeed. I've been put on very visible projects (from day one) and I'm getting constant help from my TL to keep me on a track to get promoted. Everyone I work with directly is amazing.
Google is a magical place but the standard deviation in experiences are large.
I've personally been very happy with my experience/team.

It may be important to set a goal of getting promoted but you also need to qualify for the promotion and that's, at least in theory, about actually doing good work, not buttonholing the right people and having the perfect resume.
