It looks like every successful engineering department that I have ever worked at. In other words, the ones run by engineers instead of business people.

It makes complete sense that successful engineering companies are run by engineers. But I'd be a little surprised if you were to say that those same engineers did not take into consideration how their designs would impact their clients. I'm definitely not saying that Google has completely failed to take into consideration the impact of their algo changes, but I am saying that (on the surface at least) it does not appear to be much of a priority as it specifically relates to the ecommerce business sector. Hope I'm wrong.
