Actually, you see Google hiring ever more people. My colleague has worked for Google and said on multiple occasions (it is even on video) you can barely get anything done using the systems and procedures they have in place. The infrastructure/ tools for anything they have programmed there was very high maintenance and almost begins to crumble under its own weight. It is almost like an oil tanker dragging its anchor - it is still rolling, but it sure isn't a sustainable development if what you want is efficient movement forward.
