Last time it was Google, now it's Microsoft. If you want to get an interesting behind the scenes tour of some Microsoft offices, there is a post at businesinsider.com that walks you through some of the campus in Redmond. It's so big people have to take shuttles to get around.
In fact, while the article doesn't say it, the Redmond campus of Microsoft is over 500 acres! A massive, sprawling pseudo-metropolis complete with all the accouterments of a city including stores, athletic facilities and a movie theater.

I'm not such a big fan of the high-five hallway, though.
Not a bad job if you can get it.
When my brother graduated from UC Berkeley, he was recruited by Google. He took a tour of their facility and said they had a really laid back work environment, plus the employees' cafeteria was open 24/7 and it's free. Now that's a nice perk!
ReplyDeleteIt really is beyond me to start. I think the virtual cooking instructions in the house of the future is cool. The shopping part did not make total sense. What if you wanted the item right then? I wish I saw the restaurant part. The picture on this site makes the NSA look like child's-play.
ReplyDeleteImpressive company to work for. The part that the working environment is laid back for me creates a better environment for innovation.I am pretty sure working here would be great but getting a job here would be competitive.
