- tynpeddler 9y agoGoogle isn't looking for the most intelligent and talented people and hiring them. There are lots of smart people who are not engineers and lack the skills Google needs. Google is looking for the the most talented people in the group of people who's interests make them useful to Google. It's an important distinction, and one that is at the heart of Damore's memo.
