It makes sense for companies to have 1-10% of resources allocated for that. At Google scale that is thousands of people.

What if it's a lot more than 1-10% at GOOG?

Why haven't I met anyone who proudly works on revenue generating product at GOOG compared to the several R&Ders I know from different social circles?

  • Sure it might well be. Ads and Cloud are the main things making money at Google. Those have very high profit margins. So it might be 90% at Google are just spending the money earned by the 10% that are directly bringing in the dough :)
