Criticism of Google
 LONG WORKING HOURS

Google believes fresh graduates dont have a

life outside office

Google tries to make it congenial for

employees by providing them services like:
laundry, health care, on site dental care, gym
etc.

Normal working hours are 10am 6 pm but

office goes along with employees through
their mails and smartphones.
 Recruitment policy

Google is notorious for its hiring and

recruitment procedures.

It has been criticized for focusing on

academic background and grades wherein
experience and others factors have been
given a backseat.

Google is still primitive in its general

approach of recruitment policy as compared
to other organizations like Microsoft , apple
etc.
Exploitation of Contract workers

Ill treatment of contract workers.

30% of total recruitment on contractual basis

Contractual workers are not given employee

benefits , stock options and access to intranet
and meetings etc.

Regular v/s contractual employees

 OFFICE ARRANGEMENTS
Google believes that developers are, with few
exceptions, interchangeable parts.

This philosophy shows through in their office

arrangements which in Mountain View are all
over the map.

There are glass-walled offices, there are open-

space areas, there are cubicles, there are
people whos desks are literally in hallways
because theres no room anywhere else.

Google doesnt seem to think that private

offices are valuable for technical staff.
Plans for career growth!!!!

Not really.

There is no career development plan from

individual contributor to manager.

Basically if you get good reviews, you get

more money and a fancier title (Senior
Software Engineer II) but thats about it.

 Decline in employee
behavior and values
Rising no. of disciplinary issues.

Lack of mutual respect and recognition.

Behavioral related problems due to lack of work

life balance and work overload.

Unproductive meetings due to lack of time

discipline, casual attitude and arrogance.
 Conclusion
It can be concluded that there is a high amount of
relationship in between the organizational culture and the
level of the organization competency.

Google has a strong and inspiring culture that promotes its

employees for innovation and initiatives

Managing the large workforce within the organization Google

kept innovation activities alive in long run

Google also has to come up with some specific steps that will
help the organization in managing its large workforce.
