Does Google have a major issue with their hiring process? They seem to be able to hire the talented people they need. I guess it's an issue for the individuals that get rejected, but not for Google, who seems to get as many people as they want.

If these people are so “talented” and not people who can memorize leetCode, where are the profitable products?

Google has gone from zero to three quarters of a trillion dollars in 20 years. The people there didn't do that by memorising code.

And Blackberry was also successful for years. Google just announced a year over year decline in net income as their revenues grew less than their traffic acquisition costs. Their entire business is predicated on more people not installing ad blockers and businesses not moving even more toward Facebook and Amazon who have harder to block ads.
