3. Engineers can do more than code
In most tech companies, engineers are relegated to one very specific task: writing computer programs, says Sivaramakrishnan, who is herself an engineer.
“Engineers sit in the dungeon and code,” she says. “Google is an environment where it is extremely empowering for engineers.”
Sivaramakrishnan learned to have the confidence to imagine herself as a CEO in her time at Google: “I think that comes from Larry and Sergey from their own engineering background as well.”
In 2010, she launched Drawbridge, a company that builds technology to connect user’s screens and devices without relying their personal security information.
