Technically this should mean hiring people from Google is a bad idea because they won't be as productive without access to the tools that make them so capable at Google...
- exitheone 4y agoThey will probably be just as productive as all the other employees but they will be sightly unhappy about how incredibly lacking the non-google tooling is because they know how productive someone could be. Source: Googler but still writing lots of code outside of Google and constantly think to myself "why is this so needlessly hard? Why does nothing integrate well?"
- onion2k 4y agoThat translates to "They'll be as good as others, but far more likely to leave" doesn't it? Still not a good signal for hiring.
- exitheone 4y agoI'd rather say that they are far more likely to help improve your tooling and productivity because they have been exposed to Google tooling and know what development _could_ be like. Even if they just do incremental improvements that others would not consider.
