What I'm very curious to know is how Google employees feel about what the culture there now is like. There have been a fair number of high profile exits in the last year or so and a while a Facebook IPO is probably reason number one there have to be at least a few more complementary reasons.

I've met a number of ex-Googler "suits" and have never been impressed by those guys. They don't shy away from boasting about their time there and what they supposedly added to the organization as a whole. The experiences have made me wonder if the business types have started to sour the culture. Any current or former employees care to weigh in?

Addendum: Let me add that I have nothing against business people as a whole. I (anecdotally) find that large groups of technically competent people tend to weed out assholes from their ranks somewhat more effectively than large groups of strictly business/management people.
