Directors Intent
"The idea of that kind of mismatch of cultures, the analog guys in the heart of the digital world, seems interesting to explore, both comedically and thematically."
"I don’t think it’s nearly as interesting if we have to use a generic tech company. I think that part of what’s cool is, not only is Google kind of globally ubiquitous, but there’s a certain mythology around its culture"
"Literally, every single computer screen and every single white board in the movie was either done by a Googler or sent to us by Google or personally verified and approved by a Googler, because I wanted the movie to be accurate in the small details, as well. Every time you see a shot, even in the distant background where there’s a dry-erase white board, what you see on that white board is something that you see in the Googleplex, and I wanted all of that to be accurate."

Aimed to preserve Google mentality while portraying the tech world in a way that way easy to relate to for non technical people.
