Joe Beda's EightyPercent.net: "Switching teams at Google is a very fluid process. An engineer can be 40% on one project, 40% on something completely different and 20% on his or her own thing.

Joining a new group is more about find a good mutual fit then going through HR and a formal interview loop. "

Worth reading the whole thing.... and showing to your boss ( unless s/he has pointy-hair)
