Sundar Pichai is the CEO. He decides how to run the company. If you are a 28 year old software engineer, you should focus on software engineering. By all means, grow to be a C level executive and change the culture. But google is a private company and those who own it and run it are perfectly entitled to want to not have junior software engineers stir up culture wars inside the company If investors who own google don't like the culture Sundar is supporting inside their company - they can fire him and if they do, it's their business.
