That doesn't mean as much as you might think.

Working in the depths of google and running a company are two very different things.

In my experience it actually means less. SWE who cut their teeth at google are spoiled with amazing tooling and processes to support everything they do.

My personal experience with google engineers is 20% code and 80% complaining that our issue tracking system isn't as perfect as googles was.
