"teams" are a clue to there being an underlying hierarchy and division which may not exist at deepseek. If its a smaller self-organising team of people, there would be no such effect.
It is also common knowledge that google's internal team and advancement politics are already pathological -- against a background of a winner-takes-all, cooperation does not work.
While I agree that Google's advancement politics are concerning, it's far fetched to say that there's a winner-takes-all aspect - there's still a lot of remuneration/power/recognition to go around for everyone, just not unevenly distributed.
