Skype – London Offices

March 5th, 2010 by Jose

Remember when Skype was the Next Big Thing? Well, it was pretty big, but it wasn’t enormous. It might be this time, though, because soon you’ll be able to use Skype on smartphones. It’s like having a phone on your phone! But this one is a free phone. Anyways, here are their London offices.

Skype’s office is a pleasant, wide-open space. They have an awesome old timey library-style lounge and some really comfy looking lunch booths. They have spectacular views of London, and when, not breaking child labor laws, the employees enjoy riding fake plastic horse things (???).

Skype Offices – Stockholm

September 6th, 2007 by Stephen

Skype Logo Skype is best known for their easy-to-use peer-to-peer telephony client. They are clearly the leader in the field with a whopping ~215 million registered users. The company was purchased by Ebay in 2005 for $2.6 billion. Recently, the service made news when it was unavailable for use for about two days. The outage occurred when Microsoft’s Windows OS caused the simultaneous reboot of millions of computers due to a recently installed software patch. When millions of computers attempted to connect to Skype, it was quite a bit more strain that the servers could handle.

Their offices are pretty slick, and are of course, located in the same building as the Ebay offices we posted a couple days ago. One of my favorite elements of the office is the wall of clocks, which is made extra special by the addition of cuckoo clocks.
