Google business partners satisfaction is not guarantee.

     One of the things that shocked me the most is the fact that too many people complaint the way Google is run. Former employees as well as advertising agencies, complaint a lot about Google’s business practices.  They say that Page and Brin are too authoritarian and that they don’t like delegating responsibilities because of lack of trust to their employees.

     The book also, mentions that Wall Street investors didn’t want that kind of business practices because it was too time consuming, however investors gave up because the Google guys were making the proper decisions and still making profits.  On the other hand, Page and Brin, say that there are many ways of running a company, and that every company is different.  They have different clients and different market, thus they run the company their way. In fact some people accuse Page and Brin very, very authoritarian.  “Google is a monarchy with two kings” (Battelle, 233).  Furthermore Page and Brin defenders, say that people are just jealous of them, because they are young, brilliant and successful.  They say that few companies in the world grow that fast and that it is impossible to keep up with the company growth, employee and business satisfaction, although they are trying to improve costumer service.  In my personal opinion I think that in terms of job satisfaction at Google is very high.  They have free lunch, good food, a lot of free time laundry, and valuable stock options.  Literally some of Google employees are now rich and are still working because Google is a great company and they love working there
