I've been at google for a little over a year now (as an IC) and so far I've never been told what to work on. There's an over-arching goal of the team, and obv. have to talk things over w/ coworkers, but we kinda just work it out among ourselves.
This may not be the case everywhere at google, but it certainly seems possible to have a fairly self-organizing structure within a larger hierarchy.
"Why self-organizing companies take off - How 2 employees at a Finnish tech firm invented and built a space program": https://nordic.businessinsider.com/why-self-organizing-companies-take-off-how-two-of-our-employees-got-our-firm-to-build-a-satellite--/ … I guess Google is a large enough hierarchical firm that this could happen there.
I mean it's kind of in-between. At least where I'm at. I can't just go off and work on a space program, so there's *some* hierarchical "mandate" about the general area, but within that it's self-organizing.
I do believe at a self-organized firm if you made the business case and branded it correctly you could launch your own space program. Seriously.
I’d say Google is very self organizing for such a huge company. But similar for me. My wife (also works at Google) otoh is given some goals and tasks but then again it’s up to her with whom and how she achieves them. But it certainly also always does involve some politics. :)
