Google engineers typically have little little to no say in product direction, and most Google products fails for that reason and not technical reasons. So knowing that someone is a Google engineer tells you that they have at least decent technical skills, and doesn't tell you anything at all about their product skills since they didn't make product decisions at Google. So if they with presentations or such manage to convince you of their product vision they are a very attractive founder, as they then have both product vision and the technical skills to not get tricked into hiring shitty engineers to build it for them.
