I thought that the more high status the company would indicate better technology stacks and better quality of engineering.... but all the high status seems to do is pull in people who are really good at politics and doing promotion based development which is kind of counter to the science aspect of computer science.

I've consistently gotten the impression that the difference between high performing organizations like Google and less high-performing organizations is that Google doesn't just _say_ they do this stuff, they actually do it, too. (Or, at least, they used to).

> "High performing"

I havent really see Google doing any innovation in about a decade or more? What have they done significant since maps and android over a decade ago?

Apple stomping them in hardware, openai stomping them in AI, AWS stomping them in cloud, Nvidia stomping them on game streaming.

Google has a monopoly on a big ad network at its core and thats not high performing or innovative.
