This was the guy responsible for importing Oracle culture into Google, which has since overtaken Google Cloud, search and ads organizations.

I am curious what you mean by culture here, specific focused culture or the general culture?

I don't know much about Oracle's inner culture, but I've heard people always hated it throughout the years.

Is that a good or bad thing?

Good for managers, bad for engineers. Maybe good for the company, I don't know.

Kurian should be the CEO of an Alphabet subsidiary- but not Google. Cloud should be pulled out of Google and turned into a full subsidiary.
