To be honest, I'm glad Google and others like them are there for the crazies. My experiences working with ex-Googlers was not positive. Bordering on hysterical, cringe beyond belief (sending site-wide emails starting with "If you're reading this you're probably a white, straight, man... blah blah" etc.), more interested in their own activism than work or actually getting along with other people.

I believe you, but the fact that they weren't working there creates a statistical bias in the sample, don't you think?

Sure but I couple my experiences with what I've read on what it's like there, and well what more can one do? I probably could apply for a job there but that seems a bit of an extreme move :D
