Pros

Smart coworkers, good benefits, and (originally) a strong goal to change the world for the better.

Cons

Hired too many senior leaders with questionable moral compasses, ignored the fact that their technical lead in many areas was rapidly declining, became arrogant in their success, and refused to acknowledge that the exodus of many mid-level leaders indicated a big problem.

Advice to Management

Google is broken. Seriously, stop assuming you're the leader. You're not anymore (except in a few isolated cases, and even then it's not huge). Get back to ethics and making the world better. Stop hiring people with more salesmanship than morals.
