The Google Industrial Complex

摘要

Everybody works for Google. At least it's starting to feel that way. No other company has ever grown this much this fast. The omnivorous search service's revenue went from nothing in 1998 to $5 billion through June of this year. It employs 8,000 people, including many of the world's better engineers and salespeople. Chief Executive Eric Schmidt cannot keep track: "New York, Kirkland, Beijing, Bangalore, Zurich. I thought we had 10 people in each of these places. Turns out we have 100."
