Cons
No career growth.
Half the time you feel if you are actually doing anything useful.
Very frustating and depressing at times.
Advice to Senior Management
Diversify into more areas besides the "core" area of search. Google has so much cash -- use it.. For example, consumer devices.. phones, video games, set-top boxes, etc...
