Org Chart - Team Topologies at Top Companies

The following Org Chart comic was drawn by Manu Cornet and appeared in The New York Times in 2011.

Cornet is a French programmer, cartoonist, writer and musician. Cornet worked at Google from 2007 until 2021.

Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft acknowledged the drawing thus in his book 'Hit Refresh' -"A cartoonist drew the Microsoft organization chart as warring gangs, each pointing a gun at another. The humorist's message was impossible to ignore [...] I told employees that renewing our company’s culture would be my highest priority."

Popular LinkedIn contributor Alex Xu asked after how relevant is the drawing after more than 10 years and current and past employees of those companies have responded with their experiences.
