Google provides a good work environment but also puts pressure on employees by requiring long work hours without distraction from personal obligations outside work. This compressed workweek leads to motivation issues as talented employees leave, suggesting their needs are not being fully met. Google's biggest challenge is keeping employees motivated while maintaining long work hours and limiting personal time. As a manager, one could try a compressed workweek, flexible hours, job sharing, or telecommuting to improve motivation.

intend to become one

there is a bad side, that is google gives too many pressure
to its employees because employees must work long hours
and not have to deal with time-consuming personal chores
outside work.
