Google – The world’s biggest internet company has the world’s most unique working environment, the headquarter known as Googleplex has a mix of open spaces and enclosed spaces depending on the work task. Design by LA based design firm Clive Wilkinson Architects, this is the world’s biggest children playground… … I mean world’s coolest working environment for Peter Pans and friends. Rumors has it that Larry Page and Sergey Brin wants Google’s staff to think like a 5 years old kid, probably due to the fact that only kids that an unlimited imagination where the universe is the playground. This explains why Google has some of the most innovative web applications and leaves their competitors struggling to play catch-up.
Googleplex has a children center, if you’re a working mummy or daddy simply drop your kids there and you can do the same for your pet dog but not cats at the pet center, same goes for your laptop or gadgets with their 24 hours service center, basically Google take care most of their workers’ needs except for your mother-in-law.
