No more 20% time at Google?

Let’s face it Google is not the startup it once was. 16,805 employees(according to wikipedia) sound more like an enterprise. Enterprises still need a pitch to recruit talented people. Their “20% of your time side project” pitch is a becoming a thing of the past according to some:

Google recruiters are out of touch. This 20% project concept is a thing of the past yet they still promote it as if it exists. Recent survey (Googlegeist) shows that most people don’t even have a 5% project since they’re working overtime on their primary project.

At least they still serve free food to all!
