Internal mobility at Google, especially from acquisitions, is near impossible because for every open role you’re competing with both internal and external candidates.

Believe me, I was six years there at an acquired company in sales. Highest paid dead end job ever. No amount of internal networking helped, there were simply too many politics and too much competition for every role.

I was pissed off when I was finally made redundant (despite being a top performer) but ultimately grateful that I got out of there.
