My last job was all on the Google ecosystem. They bought like 10 of these things and to be honest, they were a blast during Meetings, but that was pre-covid. Pandemic really effed the office and pushed everyone remote, and I think they were lying around gathering dust when I left.
Google has a lot of great products like this. They’re just mismanaged. I’m sure if the marketing could have figured out a way to marry this with the YouTube brand like every other Google product, they would have.

Yeah, I have worked with a few ex-Googlers, great programmers and techies, poor product owners/managers. It’s like they forget how humans think.
