Applied and hired?

I know a few guys who did GSoC a few times, hired full-time, left for a start-up, rehired, left again for a start-up, rehired into Google X, left again for a start-up, and now has Google begging for him to come back again.

Google can identify talent, and will bend over backwards to retain that talent over time. This guy wasn't talent.

No, I didn't pass the Google hiring process. Things went much better with Facebook, tho :)
