Ex-Googlers

It seems googlers are taught to practice arrogance as if their entire life goal was to be part of Google. In fact, working for such a large company does have its disadvantages. And, when they turn ex-googlers they become even more arrogant. So, why did they leave? Is this because they are insecure that they left the company or because they want to impress on the fact that they once were there as well? But, one thing both ex-googlers and googlers share is the fact that they find any one that did not work at Google as beneath them. This sort of sordid culture of arrogance and conceit is unlikely to be found in other companies like Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, or even at Netflix. Perhaps, this is the way Google's internal culture brews and transforms the mentality of their employees into spoilt individuals. Either way, it projects a toxic culture. One can already see glimmers of toxicity in the way the organization forces other clients to use their cloud infrastructure which compared to AWS has a significantly long road ahead in playing catchup. Is it any wonder that ex-googlers struggle to find much success outside of Google as if to permanently lose their sense of what it means to be human. One can only anticipate that such a large company over time can only get bigger, and this perpetuated sense of complacency within Google is only bound to get worse, can only eventually lead to a corporate demise like a climactic fall of bricks.
