The stuff people say plagued google i’ve seen in much smaller companies in the last few years. It’s not Google it’s the whole damn industry
The industry has a lot of problems, but I remember when Google was just starting, and it was obviously a place to go, and for years after that it was obviously the place to go. Hopefully there are some other obviously the place to go companies now?
Start by filtering out every publicly traded company. Eliminate every company not still run by the founder. Nothing that's about to IPO. Nothing involving ads. That's a start.
