I think Pichai was a terrible CEO, but IMHO, changing the CEO is not going to fix anything. Google has serious culture issues and structural management problems.
To turn the ship around they should restructure hard and get rid of the cancer. Re-focus on merit and clear goals.
I seriously doubt they have the guts to do a restructuring. On one hand, Page and Brin probably don't want to risk rocking the boat and they have the lions share of voting shares. On the other hand, advertisers and government agencies have a lot of leverage over Google to force it to stay as woke as it is.
