I'm not ever wanting to work at Google, but that process resonates loudly with my experience of leaving academia.
From the inside you're dealing with a lot of people who have internalized the job as part of their identity and it's very difficult to just up and leave without formulating a narrative about why it's okay.
Very much second that; one prof I worked for at MIT as TA kept insisting that s/he (and we) have the best job in the world. Quite ridiculous, as s/he later was denied tenure and had to move and their research was quite stuck and un-impactful.
It was part of the personal narrative of the person (their identity) to keep telling that to themselves.
