World's Coolest Offices You would Die to Work at!


Offices have always been considered as a serious environment, with phones ringing, formal wears and small cubicles. What if I told you that some companies have totally changed the meaning of offices and converted them into a fun place to work. I’m sure you must be thinking how that is possible? Well, it is! Let’s have a look at some of the world’s coolest offices that will make you quit your job in no time!

1. Facebook - Palo Alto, California


Facebook, being the most used social networking website in the world, had to be on the top of this list. And how did they come up with one of the coolest offices in the world? Well, they conducted a survey asking all of their employees what kind of an office they would want. And tada! Their wish was granted. They created their office as creative as their website, with open areas to work in, calm and relaxing chambers, skating areas and a DJ area (I know!). Apart from that, they also got comfortable and stylish furniture to mix in with the creative ambience of their office. Facebook certainly knows how to woo their employees (apart from their customer)!

2. Lego – Denmark


We all played with Legos one time or the other during our childhood. But have you ever wondered what it would be like working at Lego? The answer is 'All play'! Yes, Lego has created this office just like a play station for all their employees. This step was taken to make their staff more innovative and imaginative. Their main aim is to provide a happy and comfortable working ambience for workers. Along with comfortable and colourful furniture, their conference rooms are full of light and colours, making it nothing like normal meeting rooms. The best part of working in this office is that you can play with Lego and come up with new ideas, while working!

3. Corus Quay – Toronto, Canada


When it comes to big, spacious offices, Corus Quay certainly wins the competition. Known as Toronto’s smartest building, its 500,000 square feet is home to 1100 employees. It's pretty amazing that this office has open office includes multiple places to hang out. It even includes television studios, a five-story atrium, a three-story slide and a lounge. The company’s main aim is to unite its employees by making work fun so that there is an increase in its productivity. Bright and colourful along with large televisions, this company has certainly made its office a happy place to work.

4. YouTube – San Bruno, California


We have all checked out the YouTube website and looking at their office we now know where all of its creativity comes from. After all, when you get an office this creative to work in, your imagination is bound to go wild! Painted in their corporate colours, red and white, this office has various areas for fitness activities like a swimming pool, gym and a golf course. Also, there is free-roam Segway riding, clean and comfortable eating areas. All this has been done to keep their employees in relaxation mode so that they get inspired to work and get good results (which is bound to happen in an office like this!).

5. DreamHost – La Brea, California


Creatively designed by DreamHost, their office is certainly the best place to work at. Instead of small cubicles for their employees, this company decided to do the opposite to increase the interaction among their employees. There are open as well as private areas created inside the office for the employees to conduct meetings, work or just relax. There are many places to eat and you can opt for gaming too (like ping pong!) This office is full of bright colours, large windows and different types of flooring to stun you.

After getting to know about all these offices, I’m sure you are thinking of moving to one of these countries to try your luck. Maybe I should do the same!
