Google’s offices are never normal, but their Washington D.C. office could possibly be one of the most interesting of them all. While Google Zurich has some pretty outrageous amenities, D.C. is said to have 1100 sq. ft. per employee, which is pretty insane. One article believes that this office is meant for only a couple things, neither of which are engineering related: Lobbying and Partying.
This space is pretty normal for Google standards, boasting cubicles, a nice kitchen, huge TVs, and plenty of bright colors. While most people are fans of Google offices, I wonder if their D.C. space would have fit into Pierre L’Enfant’s plan for the city.

So apparently someone thought it would be a neat idea to create a website that people could upload videos to and called it YouTube. While that is just about as silly of an idea as a website dedicated to ’searching the internet’, they have an office, so we are obligated to cover them.
YouTube’s office space is located in San Bruno, California and is actually in what used to be the Gap, Inc. offices. These pictures range from mid 2007-mid 2008, so they are pretty accurate as to what it looks like. Oddly enough, the YouTube campus has a large swimming pool, which is something Google’s Mountain View HQ doesn’t even have.

We’ve posted Google offices before (China, Mountain View, Santa Monica, New York) and they’ve all been great. Today’s post is no different. The Zurich offices are located in Switzerland, which is one of my favorite European cities. They have a great public transit system and the city is just clean and nice. You should go there sometime.
These offices are complete with a firepole, a slide, thinking gondolas, serenity eggs, foam-filled meditation bathtubs, and fishtanks. Pretty swanky if you ask me.

DIGG THIS! Everybody knows what Google is, and we’ve shown a few other offices of theirs before (Santa Monica, China, NYC), but I usually get a few requests each time to show the Googleplex in Mountain View. So what better way to get back into the grind after a nice, relaxing President’s Day weekend, than to get a eyeful of the Googleplex. Hope everyone enjoys it
