Tangentially, I thought the term Xoogler was used to refer to an ex-Googler.

Or has that term fallen into disuse now?

The term still exists, but it's not one you'd expect people outside Google to be familiar with.

Is it pronounced like “shoogler” or like “zoogler?” Or do they buy a vowel and say “exoogler?”

"Zoogler". But it's used more in writing, you'd probably use "ex-Googler" when speaking instead.
