> Stats? The average age at google is 29 years old. Which means half of their company is YOUNGER than that

No, that’s not what that means.

True! It doesn't "mean" that. But you get the picture.

The median probably is 29, that seems a lot more reasonable than the average being so.

Both median and mean are averages. An age discrimination suit in 2013 said the median was 29. Forbes in 2017 said the median was 30.
