Not first the first time, I'd like to point out that the people that instituted and cared for the amazing cultural values of Google in its first ten years are loooong gone.
They're all rich beyond belief and completely burnt out from carrying that torch (Jeff Dean maybe being the exception).
Unfortunately, before they bailed, they didn't take the time to select their replacement properly, as in: handing over the reins to people with the same kind of ethos, moral values and more importantly, the same kind of backbone.
Instead, they left the superb thing they had created in the hands of a new gen of execs who either don't even understand how one can say "Don't Be Evil" in a business context or - Sundar being a prime example - strictly don't have the shoulders, charisma, leadership or vision to run something like Google.
Google has turned in yet another faceless corporation run by a bunch of greedy execs who are only in it to make as much money as they can. Given how much power Google has concentrated in the hands of a few, this is pretty terrible.
