>pseudo-Google company

I don't get why people think Hooli is some pseudo-Google company. In the Silicon Valley universe Google clearly exists. Eric Schmidt was in their series premiere and the show's opening intro animation clearly shows Google and YouTube.

It's because they probably can't use Google but they wanted a Google. It's a writing device to get around that inconvenient fact.

It's a composite of recognizable bad habits of a bunch of well known companies, including Google.
