Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

Here are a few questions that will tee us up for a good conversation:
- Can you tell me about your project in a few sentences?
- What’s the timeframe? Does a certain event depend on this project launching?
- What are you looking for from us? Do you want us to design, build, and launch the whole site? Or do you have developers or other partners lined up and only need us for design?
- Have you already started on any part of the project? Do you have existing work? A new logo? Some rough designs or ideas for the site?
- How large is your team? What are the roles you envision on your end?
- How did you hear about our work? What specifically interests you about it? Any projects that you’re keen on?
- How much money have you set aside for this project?
- Are you talking to others about this project? Might we ask how many? What do you like about their work?
