Everything worked fine but I was stuck in application development when I wanted to be a research scientist (IE I wanted somebody else to build product so i could do the research on top of it). During that time, I managed to make a team member unhappy with my criticism of their work, and that led to an HR interaction where transfers into all the research parts of the company were blocked.

In the case above, it was really about a pivot of Google Cloud Genomics- my market research suggested that people wanted to store large amounts of BAM files cheaply and access them via an API, when they really wanted Spark for Genomics. I brought that up with our leadership and they declined to make that pivot early.

Here's what the Cloud Genomics product eventually evolved into, which actually is pretty good: https://verily.com/solutions/terra/ (I was the person who set up the original Google/Broad relationship that led to all of this).
