It's called Corporate Memphis and it's a fad that graphic designers at seemingly all tech companies have fallen for despite the fact that it's ugly and people hate it.

That's a stock art image. It's one of those free artworks available online that you can put on your website and has caught on for some reason. No one at Google made it, they just put it on their corporate blogs and websites like many others.

So they no longer use an in-house design team for official communications? That is concerning.

You damn well know what that style is. ;) But nice wording, haha.
This style is not only trying to induce the feelings of "unintelligent", it's even the childlike - no, babylike - feeling that they are after, I guess.
The fine article starts with an MS Paint rendering of a woman, whose entire body from the waist up is smaller than the distance from her foot to her knee. The arm hangs down almost to the knee, like an ape. With the small head and long arms it looks like the artist is trying to emphasize how unintelligent the character is, is that possible? Is this an attempt to appeal to people who themselves feel unintelligent, that they might think "if she can do it, I can do it"? Am I reading too much into this, or did Google simply lower their design standards?
