They just want someone to blame for the bad reputation they have been cooking for themselves for the past year or so. Google are just using those poor people as a scapegoat. To claim that the people they hire are unprofessional and shady does not explain the company's behavior. Why would these people (recruits) behave in this way unless they were working for a shady business? I still think Google has not changed at all.

So many internet companies have faded into the past, but Google has stood the test of time in a web-connected world. The number of Google apps that I use, and how dependent I've become on them, is crazy. Having plenty of flops is OK if you hit it big once in a while. I can definitely see how their recruiting department would act in that manner though, knowing that the recruitee would most likely do anything to land a job there.
