There also isn't a lot in the way of teams (there are a number of "projects" that have one or two people working on them). The statement that Google doesn't do annual performance reviews is completely wrong: they do them every year and is the basis for your bonus. The nice this is that they do it in a way that makes more sense: the content of the reviews are mostly done by your peers.
