Google, said to have very high hiring bar, yet I've seen more than a few times now that their product lines are sub-par. I'm sure the explanation they give is that we are very big and we can ignore the 1% corner cases and have the mentality that "we are so big we don't really care about smaller parts of the internet".

Also, the hypocrisy in using very logical questions to hire people but not sticking to similar logic in the product line is laughable.

It feels like they have an entire company of Mr. Spocks without a single Doctor McCoy to round things out.
Mr. Spock would have approached the issue of support more logically and would have thought things through more carefully.

It's more like they have an entire company of Sheldon Coopers, without a single Penny or Leonard Hofstadter to round things out.

Sheldon would have never agreed to release a system with flawed design.
