False, they hired me.

There is a huge element of randomness in google's hiring process. So much of it depends on whether you and your interviewers were having a bad day that day. I suppose being hired there means you're above some minimum bar of competence, but I don't think being rejected means anything other than you got unlucky.

It's important to realize this post doesn't make any assertions about the fundamental merits of people who are rejected by Google.
