dzver 's review for:
The book is thought-provoking and makes you respect Google even more.
The beginning felt like a job ad - if you are super smart, like algorithms, high salaries, competitive environment, and unlimited free M&Ms, join us. I kept having this image of a 20-year-old puzzle solving chocolate destroying baby with unlimited patience that would be the perfect fit for Google. Then the information kept flowing and I understood that there is science behind the free food and the lengthy hiring. Google measures everything, A/B tests everything, makes decisions based on data, and fights again unreasonable intuition and bias. Plenty of the benefits actually make people more productive, some just are fair, and the fairness matters.
I can't be sure that everything written in the book is true, but it seems to be sincere.
