At the same as a number of engineering friends of mine are leaving Google -- most common complaint: too big and bureaucratic -- MBAs have declared it to be their employer of choice.

See also some of Paul's past posts ([1] [2] [3]) that speculate that MBA hiring may be a negative indicator for future performance.

See also my previous post, "Google and those TPS reports", that includes thoughts from Googler Chris Sacca and a brief tidbit about my experience with the influx of MBAs at Amazon.com.
