You'd think so... I thought so once... but again, perhaps not necessarily - ERP is NOT their core competency.
I.e. HR & Payroll legislative rules and best practices, business & organizational process transformation etc, are not what Google Engineers and IT necessarily have experience in, and if they allow hubris to override that fact, it might not go great.
Internets indicate that Google uses Oracle, Apple uses SAP.
This info may be outdated - for example, Facebook claims they built their own ERP just recently; I do wonder what that "backend database" part is though, or how much HR/Pay/Finance, as opposed to inventory/datacentre management, is custom:
