Pichai is the worst CEO Google and FAANG has ever had. It's jaw dropping how Google was one of the few tech companies to not absolutely explode in terms of growth given the insane move towards online.
Google has not launched a successful product since arguably the Pixel and that is meh at best. Everything they've created since Gmail has been absolutely out performed by other companies.
They are a titan and basically control the web and they can't do anything but continue to make search worse and jam ML into every little fucking thing.
He will be the downfall of Google and is an awful CEO.
What CEO hires 37,000 people and then proclaims we need to look at spending. How the fuck is this not resolved top down. I'm at a loss for words how badly Google has fucked up their position over the last 10 years compared to Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple.
Google is constantly playing catch up.

Yeah honestly the pixel might really be the last decent thing they’ve done in a decade or more. Is there something dope we are forgetting?

Google maps

Maps is older than that. I would think that Google Photos

Launched in 2015, Pixel launched in 2016.

Maps is in 2005. Google pixel was 2013, and then after that the next major thing they did was stadia (oof). However one thing I forgot since it’s not really a “service or product” in the same way imo, Google Assistant. By far the most successful thing they’ve released in the last 10 years. Successful in terms of product quality, no idea about revenue, but basically all of they best products were in 2008 and before. Sundar became CEO in 2015 and Google assistant was 2016, then stadia.
So yeah he has one successful thing under him since then. There might be more but past decade, pixel (which is no small feat) and their focus on smaller software products for the pixel have been pretty good. However I doubt the pixel has been a large revenue source for Google.

Waymo? About the only thing they’ve done that hasn’t sucked yet.
KSRandom195 t1_itufnha wrote
Waymo hasn’t launched.

Yeah. I feel Waymo might get the Boston dynamics treatment from Google. Idk if it makes them money, it does consume a lot of it though.

I really liked Google Trips, it was great for going on holidays and having everything in one app. And it was made after the Pixel. But can't be counted since it was killed by Google as usual

He is not a founder. He is a bureaucrat. Brilliant one too
Better suited to running a GE than a Google.

Pichai isn't throwing tens of billions of dollars on a VR rewrite of Second Life. Now with legs!
IAmTaka_VG t1_ituxa4h wrote
you're right, he's throwing ten's of billions of dollars into projects and then scrapping them a couple years later.
Say what you want about Zuck but at least he commits to a fucking project.

This is what I've been saying for years. Sundar needs to step down and a Lisa Su style leader put in his place.
