You are right on the money. Starting a startup while working for Google would be an absolute non-starter. Any code you write, they own (within certain restrictions that end up being so broad as not to matter.) And moonlighting in a business that competes with Google would be grounds for termination.

Google does not own anything you do on your own time. It's unfortunate that so many engineers believe and propagate this myth.
