In Google, the organizations core values are both intensely held and widely shared.
It is considerably a flat organization wherein Larry and Sergey (founders of Google)believe in open communication across the organization.
The top management members keep their cabin doors open for free communicationbetween them and the employees.
Google doesnt have a management structure with most engineers working inteams of three and the project leader rotating among team members.
Teams have complete freedom regarding their projects, reporting directly to theVice President. People related well to the motto of Google which said You are theboss. Dont wait to take the hill. Dont wait to be managed.
