Why single out Google? They're in category 1.

Google is in category 1, but the realities of how Google runs are so different from most category 1 companies that generalizations about category 1 companies tend to break for Google.

Likewise note that category 1 companies are also in category 2, but the realities of being a category 1 company is very different than the realities of being a category 2 company.

They seem to qualify for number 3 as well.
