>Since last June, Google has approved nearly 14,000 employees globally to transfer to a new location or go fully remote, Casey said. About 15% of applications have been denied, he added.

15% is still something I consider significant. Why were they denied? Are there people getting preference based on manager or their own personal reputation?

The most common reason is being a junior employee, who could still benefit from in-person mentorship.
