Is it true that Google doesn't hire "idea guys"?

From: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/business2/business2_archive/2...

Interestingly, Google was both least aggressive and least attractive to Schachter. When he'd interviewed for a job there, the company had told him, "We don't need idea guys--we've got plenty of them. We just need developers."

That was a very, very bad interview. Heilemann took two different interviews, 8 months apart, and put them together. With a variety of innaccuracies.

Anyway, some engineer told me that in an interview at some point.
