Competitor employees clearly can provide significant insights to your company. However, what does jumping ship from a competitor to your company say about the employee's character?

There are obviously circumstances when hiring people who once worked for a competitor do make sense.

However, I agree that anyone who wants to join your company with a vendetta against their former employer is likely trouble.
