fraud/bad engineers and google

Jan 28, 2020 22 Comments

what kind of background checks does google do ? I personally know 4 people who did fraud/ were basically bad engineers who are in google now
1. someone in leadership role hired his wife into the team and lied about knowing her , she reported to him and grew in ranks and at some point someone caught this and both were fired - they are both in google now

2. an engineer did work for 6 months in microsoft and left to google , and later the team realized he was faking for 6 months , he did not do any work at all.

3. a senior leader outsorced work to another country and gave contract to her brother’s company and gave him 5 million dollars , the brother obviously didnt have a team and the money is lost , the senior leader was fired when this came to light , she is now a senior leader in google.

not saying this is specific to google, but how are we tolerating this and rewarding these folks ?? i know many more examples from Uber .

overall its clear - being Toxic is ok - atleast based on the examples I know - any more examples ?
