Specifically: Eric Schitt used something known as "The Conjoined Triangles of Success" which is a compromise between Sales and Engineering triangles. His principle was the beginning of the end - when I was at google (long after Eric Schitt had left), I would call it "the conjoined cube of sales" because google had become more of a sales and marketing type organization as opposed to its engineering roots. So that's all to say Eric Schitt's assessment of the culture was quote anachronistic versus the real culture, particularly on the engineering-sales axis of the conjoined triangle of success
