I'm British.
(And The Economist's 'Style Guide' 10ed. concurs. (I'm not being selective beyond the extent to which I already am by only having that style guide.) It is of course a global publication, despite 'being' British, but it's entry on 'Americanisms' makes it pretty clear ('sparingly') it prefers a BrE starting point. I can't find anything more explicit on that.)

Alright. Clearly it’s not a consensus view then. Still, every time I’ve heard things like “Google have”, it’s been (ESL, or) British English speakers. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered it in American English.
