I'm not so sure you should be giving him the benefit of the doubt. He worked for Microsoft for a few years http://www.linkedin.com/pub/james-whittaker/13/878/229 http://www.linkedin.com/pub/james-whittaker/13/878/229, then moved to Google, and then moved back to Microsoft, writing a scathing article http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jw_on_tech/archive/2012/03/13/why-i-left-google.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jw_on_tech/archive/2012/03/13/why-i-... about Google in the process.
