Google's "dialect" both makes sense with other things I've heard about working for them and makes working for them less appealing. The flexible generic and compile-time resolution paradigms offered by templates are a lot of the reason it's compelling to use C++ over other languages, and while it's a totally reasonable language to use for speed if you stick to gluing together STL containers/algorithms, making anything complicated under those rules sounds very unpleasant.
