Why? He's under no obligation to Google. It's not like they hired him and he has to sign an NDA or be polite. He had a frustrating interview process and vented about it online, it's a pretty human thing to do. Why would that make him a bad employee?

Well, not that I agree with the sentiment, but corporations likely have incentive to hire individuals that are easier to push over and keep quiet as long as they have the skill set needed.

If you were a corporation trying to keep PR positive, would you hire someone that has shown themselves as an outspoken public mouthpiece and tip-toe around them to keep them happy, or just avoid the problem?
