Most importantly most companies interviewing don't get to pick from the pool of applicants that google gets to. And even more importantly most companies don't even get to pick from the pool of applicants that a typical funded (or soon to be funded) startup will get.
While I am sure there are things that can be learned from 'Work Rules' the question is how much of that applies to the vast majority of companies in America.

Google's hiring process is famously painful, and they lose a lot of great candidates that way. I wouldn't trust their insights to build a hiring pipeline.
