Final word on Google…
Good news - Google hired me and is putting me in the Cairo office.
(Just Kidding - I had to figure out a way to use that picture)
No - Google has declined further interviews, and it’s a good thing since I now have to concentrate on Solo Structures. But I just can’t help it. I’ve been researching Google since February and I keep finding more interesting stuff. For instance, do a Google search on “Marissa Mayer” and then click the Wikipedia link.
One that page you’ll find a link to a presentation she gave at Stanford this May. It’s a great insight into Google. Listening to it rewound me back to working with Leonid and the brilliant Russian (well, mostly Russian) engineers on Revit and the early days of the startup. I agree with their “formula.” Launch it rough around the edges and polish it QUICKLY as your most vocal early-adopter users complain.
Marissa is set to present at Harvard with Carl Bass (CEO of Autodesk) in November. BTW, I hope Marissa has a thick skin, since this article made me split my sides laughing.
