As a Googler, it's worse. Even within one of the "companies" there is distrust in the chain of command.
Googler here. Yeah, it goes my boss, another guy I'm somewhat familiar with, then some cloud of VPs or something and then Sundar.

I have no idea what those vp's are up to and not much faith in their decisions.

When I joined I found it funny you can't DM Sundar. But you can DM SVPs. At least the SVP of my division is open on the chat app.
