A guy I know (was senior in MSFT) just joined goog but has lied about being a principal since last couple of years in MSFT in LinkedIn. Wondering if goog or other companies do bg check for US citizens or not. Also does this behavior help? Seems pretty unethical.

OP, ignore this guy and bring it up with someone if you feel it’s appropriate. This is not a “petty thing”, this is lying about one’s position and implied responsibilities and experience. People with this attitude are why this entire industry can be such a shit-show sometimes.
All these people got fired or "resigned" for misrepresenting credentials. You either reward this behavior with a job and high pay or punish it in order to stop it.

Some people put an eye catcher headline, that can say anything. But Linkedin is commonly checked vs a resume. Anyone can lie on a resume because no one sees it. The fact that linkedin is publicly seen, including your previous peers, it is trusted more than your resume. People can call you out because you chose to post it publicly.
