I'm sure they get a lot of false negatives, which is arguably better than false positives as long as you can fill all positions.

Still, they're in danger of establishing an intellectual monoculture, and those tend to get wiped out when environments change.

I'm interested in seeing whether the same mix of staff and company structure can prosper in a recession.

You do realize that this is the antithesis of the core reason of why startups work, yes?

What's fundamental is that it is those few abnormal people who change the world 1000x more than the regular person. When you have near infinite money like Google, I'd be very afraid of missing out on those few people who are going to carry the company.
