I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at | |
Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the | |
two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- | |
is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. | |
Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. | |
It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred | |
different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior | |
in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a | |
spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, | |
even though recruiting loved it. |
