Stevey's Google Platforms Rant
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.
