????Hiring practices, Sep. 2010

Six tech giants, including Google, Apple and Intel, settled a DOJ antitrust investigation by ending agreements not to poach each other's employees. The agreements by the companies not to make recruiting calls to employees that they had placed on a list "diminished competition," the DOJ said, and had a negative effect on the job prospects of sought-after engineers and scientists. Adobe, Intuit and Pixar were also part of the settlement.
