I still have tremendous respect for the company but after a couple of hundred employees, cultural change is axiomatic with growth.

The main thing I'm shocked at is how badly they fumbled Google+ and the identity issues surrounding it. Google+ could have been an amazing tool that increased our respect for Google, instead it ended up like a bad Facebook also-ran.
To some extent the influence of ex-Microsoft execs on Google+ was obvious, but I'd still expect the company that brought us the original Google and the original GMail to not flub it that horrendously.

"Don't be Evil" assumes a constant definition of "evil". Recent findings of NSA and DEA snooping has altered the definition of "evil" in Google's favor.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
