It worked for Microsoft. They started as liked hackers. Then they went full throttle with monopolistic practices, corruption, patent trolling, litterally and publically insulting the competition... And now, they just use a tiny fraction of the huge amount of money they made during that time to wash their image: better PR, involved in open source, etc. I'm not worried for Google. People will forgive and forget everything like they do with most politicians. They just have to keep accumulating benefits, and then hire poeple to "make the brand great again". Works everytime.
