> A lot of hot people joined the company with designer clothes, even though they didn't have to go through the usual interview process.

That sounds ludicrous. If true, it has to count up there as among the most expensive way to get at "OPP" (in the Naughty By Nature sense). I don't see how the BoD and all sorts of DD processes could have signed off on it. Then again, I simply don't know how politics and power works at those levels, so I'd certainly welcome enlightenment.

I believe it, because I've seen it. At some level the marketing mangers just have carte blanche to hire hot people to be the face of the company. google/alphabet is not special in this regard.
