February 16 news, a former Google employee said that the company has lost its way. In a recent blog post, he wrote that Google today is inefficient and poorly managed, and is holding back because of fear of risk.

Cloud, a cloud service owned by Touyuan Pixabay, bought Praveen Seshadri's co-founded AppSheet in early 2020, and Sai Chedly joined Google. In a blog post on Monday, he said that although he was welcomed by the company and treated well, he left Google knowing that "the once great company has slowly ceased to operate." According to his profile on the recruitment website LinkedIn, he left the company in January.

For Google, this is a "fragile moment" because it has recently been competing with Microsoft's artificial intelligence program, according to Seshadley. He says Google's fundamental problem is not its technology, but its culture.

"in my opinion, Google has four core cultural issues," Sesadri said. " These are the natural result of the printing press' advertising', which is growing relentlessly every year, masking all other problems. First, there is no mission, second, there is no sense of urgency, third, the illusion of uniqueness, and fourth, poor management. "

Google didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Seshadley believes that most Google employees today end up serving other Google employees rather than customers. He describes the company as a "closed world" in which employees are not necessarily rewarded for their hard work. The feedback is mainly "based on what your colleagues and managers think of your work," Seshadley says.

Mr Seshadley says Google is highly concerned about risk. "reducing risk is above all else." 'Every line of code, every product release, ambiguous decisions, agreement changes and differences are now risks that Google employees must treat with caution,'he wrote.

Employees are also "trapped" in lengthy approvals, legal reviews, performance review processes and meetings, leaving little room for creativity or real innovation, he added.

It is reported that in Google's last staff survey, employees rated Google's executive ability very low, which they said led to bureaucracy and hindered the development of the company's innovation ability.

"in general, it's a moderate peacetime culture, and there's nothing worth fighting for," Mr. Sai Chedly wrote. "those who tend to fight for clients, new ideas or creativity will soon realize that it really doesn't do any good."

Google has been recruiting quickly, which makes it difficult to train internal talent and is not effective, says Mr Seshadley. Many employees also believe that the company is "really different," which means that many outdated internal processes still exist, because "that's what Google has always done," he said.

Mr. Seshadley said Google still had a chance to turn things around, but he didn't think it could continue to succeed just by avoiding risk. He believes Google needs to be "mission-oriented", reward employees who strive for "ambitious causes" and streamline middle managers.

"there is hope for Google and its friends who work there, but it requires intervention," he wrote. "
