Does Google hire felons?

Yes, Google does sometimes hire felons. This will depend on the nature and severity of the felony. The company does perform a background check during the hiring process, so it will be aware of any convictions.

Google considers itself a forward-thinking company, which may make it open to hiring felons. In states like California, where Google's headquarters is, many companies have gotten behind the "ban the box" initiative, though Google's support of this is unclear.
