- New mgmt. is inexperienced and a total disaster and has made the work environment hostile, toxic and ultimately a complete failure. - Large layoffs are a norm. One just happened last Friday - it is a one man show who is supposed to lead the engineering organization but pretty much runs product, marketing and even HR. The person has been given keys to the kingdom and it is very clear that he is neither qualified nor has the maturity to run large size organizations. - a lot of key positions are filled with new people who are from outside and buddies and neither have the track records nor experience to full fill the roles. It is solely based on buddy system. - snap judgements are made about employees by new mgmt. based on no substance technically. - questioning any decision means you get on layoff list unless you are in the inner buddy circle. - Mandatory 7 day work weeks are put in because releases were poorly planned , managed and doomed for failure to begin with. - layoffs are planned in advanced but Employees are intimidated to work at the Mountain View location mandatory 7 days a week and then laid off. Very unethical. Cannot believe this happens in USA.

Now it is being systematically disassembled and eliminated. There was a layoff back in 4/20/2015, and then another much larger one on 8/20/2015. Terrible mismanagment and bad investments by the top level management turned a once profitable and growing department into a crumbling mess. There were a lot of talented, driven, collaborative people who were treated really bad along the way.
