Grades aren't everything. How many times have you worked with a highly-credentialed person who couldn't perform when it actually mattered?

Baloney or not, I've got grads from the last 3 class years telling me this.

Also, I'm specifically talking about Google. Not any other FAANG.

Google is seen as a place to park yourself at a high salary, not have any responsibility and not get much done. Almost all of them interned at Google at some point and that's how their internships went too.
