Why quit Google?


Ever since I have graduated from my college, I always dreamt of getting into this internet giant. But here is what Techcrunch has come up with. Letters from ex-employees of Google mentioning why they left the company.
Well I do agree with them but most of it has just come out because of the inability to settle in the big organization and follow a hierarchy (I am amazed it's there in google too).

Disclaimer: By no means I intend the hurt the feelings of Google. The content presented here are for the sole purpose of making things transparent and amusing.

Currently following four games are in market
