While I understand the desire to learn about Google from the inside, planning to stay there only 6 months isn't very fair to the employer; the OP may have learned a little from the experience, but Google likely got almost nothing (net) from the employee as it takes more than 6 months to become really productive at Google.

I actually would not want to work with this person knowing he's pulled a "stunt" like this; I think it's unethical.

It's a failure in Google's hiring practices that they allowed this guy to be hired.

If the right questions had been asked, surely they would have figured out he wanted to do his own thing, and thus there was no point hiring him?

Or maybe he's a very good liar?
