What an awful work setup! They have that nice building and then make people do the bullpen. Yuk!
But I guess working late and coming in on weekends makes up for it.

This work to death, cram ‘em in “culture” is getting very old.
People, don’t you see that you are getting ripped off?
I wouldn’t work there on a bet.
Coors Light?
Kee-rist!

I think one of the best examples I’ve seen of private offices for contemplation is probably Freshview.

Yeah, I’m just bitching because I haven’t seen any ideas worth stealing.

What I’m really hoping to do is find someplace that manages to give people quiet contemplation for work but also lets us get together at the drop of a hat for consultation.

I don’t have any good ideas, which is why I’m hoping to find them here.

@ Brian

I think the exterior is one the best I’ve seen yet, but you’re right, the interior is pretty classic for a tech company these days. Probably 75% of companies we’ve shown in Silicon Valley have those ikea tables.

Curmudgeon moment:
But it is just a big box full of Ikea furniture? How is that best-looking?

/Posted from a big box full of Ikea furniture, but I wish it was cooler.

PS: What kind of tech company buys Coors Light for an office party?
