But if reporting is to be believed Google is struggling to hire and keep talent, and there hiring approach has been heavily criticised for encouraging 'generic' and 'average' employees. The entire truth behind that I can't comment on myself, but thats what goes through my blogs feeds form time to time. I know from every restructure I've ever been in the first casualty is the talented staff. They don't hang around to mucked about, they are in demand so they just flow somewhere where those issues don't exist. But who knows, I guess there was a lot of sleepiness nights at Google before this went ahead, so our conjecture would have already been through more solid risk/benefit analysis than what a chat thread could offer.
