Google started as a research project in 1995 and incorporated in 1998. Susan was an employee number 16. 25 years sounds about right.

I think k8sToGo's point is that she never "joined Alphabet", Alphabet did not exist when she joined Larry and Sergey. She joined concurrent with Google's founding as a company, she probably joined when the search engine was named Backrub. Alphabet would be created decades later.

If I'm not mistaken she was Sergei's girl friend back then or maybe it was her sister. Not sure but I remember his first wife had this last name.

Google is that old, Alphabet isn't.
Splitting hairs. "Joined the entity that would later become Alphabet", big deal.
