Today you will take a look at some of the best office’s in the
industry. We have gathered office photographs from some of the most well
know internet companies around.
They are
YouTube, Google, Threadless, SoundCloud, and Twitter. You will see how
the employees of these companies get treated and what kinds of perks
they get daily. Honestly these examples should set the standard
workspaces for any internet business. For example Google has a chef that
will cook you anything you like! Considering i can’t cook, this would
be the perfect job for me. Anyhow, we hope you will enjoy this roundup.
We have included some history and numbers about the companies below, so
be sure to read before browsing.
- YouTube
Ever since its launch in 2005 YouTube has quickly become the top dog
for video content on the internet. Today YouTube is the third most
visited website in the world according to
Alexa.
We use Youtube to find funny videos, movie trailers, video game
montages, music videos, and much much more. In 2006 Google purchased
YouTube for $1.65 billion, and to this day it has yet to make its first
profit.
Now that you have some background on YouTube, we would like to show
you what its like to be an employee for them. Check out the following
pictures of the YouTube Headquaters located in San Bruno, California.
The employees at Youtube have many perks at their job, like the swimming
pool, workout room, and a little putting green.

- Twitter
Well if you haven’t been living under a rock, you probably know what
Twitter is. Founded in 2006, Twitter is one of the biggest social
networks on the internet just like LinkedIn and Facebook. As of Jun 8,
2010 Twitter has over 190 million users, and their users tweet over 65
million times a day! Twitter currently has 141 employees ranging from
Business Development & Sales, Engineering,Corporate IT, Research,
Support, and much more.
Check out the following pictures of the Twitter Headquaters located
in San Francisco, California. Twitter HQ has several small meeting rooms
with displays or white boards. They really do a great amount of
brainstorming and opinion gathering with most employees.

- Google: Zurich
Google is
the tech giant. Founded in 1998, Google
employs over 20,000 workers. Google has been known for both creative and
fun workplace and Google’s Zurich office definitely shows that
tradition off. Just like other Google offices, workers have access to
dining areas and many fun things. If you’re tired and need a break, just
get up and read a book, play Xbox, play pool, get a meal made for you
by a chef, or just watch Tv. Basically Google sets the standard of what a
workplace should be like.
Although this isn’t the main Google Headquarters, Zurich shows of
many features that most Google buildings provide. Don’t get too
jealous while browsing.

winning a custom shirt design contest. Ever since it has grown to be one
of the best web based clothing retailers around! Currently Threadless
has 80 employees.
Check out the following pictures of the Threadless Headquaters
located in Chicago, Illinois. The workspace is full of shelving stocked
with new shirts ready to be shipped. One of the most valued perks looks
like the ping pong table. We wonder, who is the champ?

- Sound Cloud
Founded in 2007, SoundCloud lets you move music fast & easy. The
platform takes the daily hassle out of receiving, sending &
distributing music for artists, record labels & other music
professionals. Many common day artist use SoundCloud to share their
gigs, sets, and tracks they have produced. Lets say you just made an
awesome tune, and would like to share it. You can publish it and let you
friends download it directly from SoundCloud.
You probably think soundcloud is just managed by a huge group of
people, well currently they only have 30 employees. Their office is very
minimal and serves as an easy going friendly environment. Check out the
following pictures of the SoundCloud Headquaters located in Berlin,
Germany.
