A bit fluffy towards the beginning. The last few chapters were really good. Communication, talent and 1 on 1s.

Not quite what I was expecting when I bought it. I was looking more into the technology behind Google, where this book really focuses on how Google runs as a company. Management,how decisions are made, how to attract the best people.
I still enjoyed it though.

More of a business book than I was expecting. The whole book felt like an introduction, it was quite vague. I did like the cute illustrations though.

Very motivating write-up of the sorts of practices that apply at google; from ship and iterate; to being a good router of information; to not having a strategy that's just leveraging competitive advantage to attack related markets; thinking platforms not products; to the more topical issue of working from home sucking the life out of work in the context of innovation and the broader discussion.

A good book, sharing some insight on Google's hiring and management practices. Would be useful for any manager that is working with "smart creatives" and willing to harness their skills and knowledge to build great products.

This book is full of fantastic advice for business leaders, and yet it also constantly provides useful advice for everyone else as well, from grand concepts like what makes an idea innovative to every day process tips like how to manage email effectively. I would highly recommend that anyone read this book, and I think it is a must-read for leaders at companies that take a more “traditional” approach. Many of the suggestions are ones that smart creatives at these companies find obvious and have been espousing for years, but this book describes them much better and perhaps could help give that “argument from authority” bias to help convince some of the more old-fashioned executives.
