Lately there have been a number of high level employees at Google who have left for other positions. I'm curious as to why so many are leaving Google and if it is an indication of internal problems within their company.

The above departures (I'm sure there are some I overlooked) appear to be more than ordinary churn. As the top tech company, I would assume Google's ability to retain talent would be easy, yet so many are leaving. What's your thoughts on this?
