Google Employees Confess The Worst Things About Google – Business Insider

If I gave half a crap about why google brands’ quality has started to suck I might wager that this factor plays in.

“Many of the engineers are arrogant. Unfortunately, in spite of the common belief, I think the average level of Google engineers is mediocre. With a lot of arrogance, too. Everybody believes he (males dominate) is better than his neighbor. So it is really hard to discuss any issue unless it is your friend you are talking to. Objective discussions are pretty rare, since everybody’s territorial, and not interested in opinions of other people unless those people are Important Gods.”

When you are too arrogant to see -let alone admit- when you are on the wrong track there is nothing to turn you around and get you pointed in the right direction.
