I worked for Google as well. They are fine as far as I can tell.
But similarly, the rank-and-file and the proclaimed policies at places like Bloomberg and Goldman Sachs were just as fine.
Especially Bloomberg seemed to go to crazy lengths to be squeaky clean in all respects. Eg when you leave Bloomberg they immediately put you on garden leave, and (here's the squeaky clean part:) then pay out your remaining leave instead of folding that into your one-month gardening leave.
