I recently read the book "How Google Works". The book, read today, feels like pure sarcasm.

Google used to be my dream company. While they still have top talent and the best infrastructure one could wish for (and they pays really well), I no longer find the company as enticing. If an opportunity comes up, I might still join the company, but it no longer feels like a job offer I should "pursue" in my career.

I agree. In the 2005-2015 era, I used to have admiration for those that worked at Google and wanted to be like them. Now I view them similarly to those who work at tobacco companies or payday loan companies. They've literally become the villains of the tech story.
