The headquarters of a company like this isn't interesting. Headquarters are administrative centers. It's not where you send a laptop to have a bug installed.
I remember in HP/Compaq offices in Houston when we wanted to take a break, we were going for a walk; anyone who has been in those HQ knows what I mean. A 45mins (slow) walk around the entire thing, and you could see anything from boring offices to assembly lines from that promenade!
I thought these were some interesting additions, although it seems like for almost half of them, it's "this company's headquarters are really cool, you have to see it...but you won't be let inside."
Ya, FAANGs don’t exactly have nice offices, amenity wise sure but nobody GAF what they look like, there’s probably nerf guns and desk clutter everywhere.
Think somewhere with clients and prestige. Law offices, design shops, consulting boutiques etc.
This is a great idea! Hope this thread continues. I am out of Miami right now and rarely get to see cool tech offices. Would love to get a list going of tech offices that allow scheduled visits or quick tours.
"Pouring huge money into overly glorious new headquarters — “The Edifice Complex” — then repeating two years later. There’s also a danger in signaling to employees “we’ve made it, we’re amazing” (and while everyone hates the cramped but collaborative space when they’re in it, they miss it terribly after the move)."
Don't nearly all Microsoft employees have offices? Every building I've been to (I can probably name off about 30 of them) had employees with offices. Can you name the buildings where employees don't have offices?
