Not enchanted by Google's luxurious environment, top talents resent its arrogance

Last time, I introduced an article about Google being overrated. Today, I found another negative piece about Google on TechWeb. A foreign blog post mentioned that the much-praised top-notch office environment and free food at Google are not actually anything new; companies like Apple and Microsoft had provided similar conditions for their employees long before Google did. Due to exaggerated media coverage and excessive attention, Google has become a bit too arrogant.
