But the book is not so much about the current culture or setting now, but more on the authors experiences and what things have made the company successful long term from an engineering perspective. Good book to get insight on different topics or areas.

“Software Engineering at Google” has been eye opening for me. It hits what you are looking for in its first chapter and then goes into details of different aspects in later chapters.
(The title may sound gimmicky, but it's actually very relatable in general.)
