I’m sorry, but this comment reads as “culty” to me. Google has 180,000+ employees, of which tens of thousands must be engineers. What does “Googler” mean. Someone who is passionate, hacky, and creative?

If so, why do we need to slap a corporate label onto them? Can’t you just describe them as such?

I’m not trying to be cynical or rude, but this just feels wrong to me.

Every company has a corporate culture, including Google, and my comment has a heavy dose of self deprecation in it.
