"FORTUNE has peered behind the curtain at Google, conducting more than two dozen interviews with employees, friends of employees, investors, business partners, and people exploring employment or business deals with the company. We talked to another dozen veterans of the search, online-advertising, and computer businesses. And we talked to the Google brain trust: Brin, co-founder Larry Page, CEO Eric Schmidt, and top exec Omid Kordistani. The reporting revealed plenty about a company that has succeeded on the Net beyond anyone's imagination. But it also turned up signs of trouble—enough to worry any founder and raise alarms for investors considering (and who isn't?) betting on the IPO.
"Google has grown arrogant, making some of its executives as frustrating to deal with in negotiations as AOL's cowboy salesmen during the bubble. It has grown so fast that employees and business partners are often confused about who does what. A rise of stock- and option-stoked greed is creating rifts within the company. Employees carp that Google is morphing in strange and nerve-racking ways. And talk swirls over the question of who's really in charge: CEO Schmidt or co-founders Brin and Page?"

I remember being at a big SEO conference at the Renaissance Hotel in San Francisco - Early 2000. Google hadn't been around long but they were already the cockiest company at the event, bar none. They even had the multi-million dollar ad and marketing companies licked.

Just got my December issue of Fortune magazine delivered to my home. Google has the whole front cover with the featured story that excell pointed out a few days ago. The title of the story in big letters is:
"Google Crazy<BR>The hottest company in tech will soon go public.<BR>Do you buy the stock-or run for your life?"
Brin and Page are on the cover.

Hmmm.. what was the cover like, did they expand on it? or was it spam orientated rubbish?

The whole cover is a pic of Brin & Page with their faces each turned inward towards each other at about a 45 degree angle both looking like their looking out into the the future. A bit spammy as it took up the whole cover and left no room to run a couple of relevant ads just above their pictures or down the right side of the page.

Actually if I look at the cover more closely, there is about 3/4" up top highlighting the 4 other main stories.

Hmm.. I meant the article.. the article was just what we have seen already or anything else in it?
If it was just what we have seen then they could easy do a next edition maybe with B&S with their backs to each other on the front cover :D

Same article that was online. The pic does have the effect that they are gazing forward in different directions.
