In August 24, the New York Times published a long analysis report. The article argues that Google is more and more like Microsoft, and Microsoft is more and more like IBM. In the spring of 2005, when Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates interviewed Fortune magazine, he made it very clear that nothing else, only Google is getting as competitive as Microsoft was in the market.
Over the years, Silicon Valley has always hoped that an enterprise can compete with Microsoft in Seattle. Now, Silicon Valley has finally developed a Google, but Google is becoming increasingly popular in Silicon Valley.
After going public, the company's internal staff's career development is increasingly limited by Google's own culture. In the town where Google is located, residents are increasingly disgusted by the increasingly crowded traffic conditions and strange behavior of company employees.
At the same time, Google has dug top technical experts everywhere in various companies in Silicon Valley, resulting in a 20%-25% increase in engineer salaries. A good programmer's annual salary has increased to about $0.15 million. Google is exploring partners and potential partners everywhere, making it an increasingly enemy of Silicon Valley technology companies.
Max Levchin, one of the founders of Paypal, commented that Google is becoming a big company and is doing something that people don't want it to do. Levchin, founder of Slide, another multimedia company in Silicon Valley, also said that he was wondering why Google's reputation became so bad.
"Whenever I go to see venture capital, or plan to see relevant partners, the final question is, why can't Google do what you want to do ", donato, CEO and founder of Oodle, a Silicon Valley classified search company, complained. "The answer is only: Maybe they are thinking about doing this, but they cannot do everything well. In fact, I can only expect that they will not ."
Google is becoming increasingly powerful in the field of technology and has completely changed its position. Google has increasingly become a new Internet platform. Just as Microsoft's Windows operating system has become a program development platform, more and more network development engineers have to develop google-related services,
"In the past, we said Microsoft was an evil empire in Silicon Valley. Today, Google is becoming a new evil empire because Google has such powerful control. They even have the potential to manipulate the entire Internet information ."
According to Hoffman, a well-known business service website in Silicon Valley, LinkedIn and co-founder, Google is far more dangerous to Silicon Valley's innovation than Microsoft in the past. They hired the most talented employees, it is hard for Silicon Valley entrepreneurial companies to find something to do.
