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.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

.Synopsis
    Takes Group DNs and User DNs and sets the user(s) as managers of the group(s).
.DESCRIPTION
    Only changes needed for the group's configuration to match the request are
    made, that is if the group already has the same managers in the specified
    positions (managedBy vs msExchCoManagedByLink) then nothing is modified.
    If no property changes are needed but the rights aren't set correctly,
    the necessary ACL rules are applied and extraneous rules are removed.
