Known for its generous privileges, incredible pay, and ideal corporate culture, Facebook is always one of the most desirable working environments on the planet.
Headquartered in Menlo Park, California, the "technology giant" always occupies the top position in the list of "worthy companies" for Business Insider, the ideal working environment. Glassdoor, and LinkedIn's "most attractive destinations," among thousands of other businesses.
To prove this, the Business Insider reporter visited the Facebook office in Manhattan, and they understood why this place was so much a dream.
This is an interesting visit:
The reporters went to Facebook's office - Greenwich Village on Friday afternoon. They were greeted by technical director Jeff Reynar and media manager Jamil Walker.
At first, they were extremely excited and impressed with the "wall" Facebook in real life. Reynar introduced that New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker had dropped by and signed it.
With a combined $ 280 billion, Facebook now has 66 offices, global data centers and 16,000 employees. Of those, 1,000 are working in the Manhattan office, designed by architect Frank Gehry, which also houses the Instagram team. Facebook's office occupies four floors of the former Wanamaker store.
In a place where there are so many employees working, it is sometimes difficult to remember where each person is. With this screen, you just enter the employee name and it will show where they are sitting.
Facebook's "Working Room" is already well known. Inside there is a model of reindeer hanging on the wall, a small sofa, and small poster. Many celebrities like singer Selena Gomez or model Ashley Graham have shown pictures taken here on Instagram.
The next stop is the media office space, where live interviews are conducted. The highlight of the room is the lighting system and the view down New York City. According to Reynar, catching celebrities here is not uncommon. Recently, the cast "Stranger Things" came to answer an interview.
This is the area of technical, sales, and human resources staff, with an open-plan layout.
Although everyone has his own desk but in addition, there are still many quiet corner for you to "escape" to work here, out of the noisy, upset of the group.
Like this place ...
.. and this place.
A place full of energy to get started.
Are you looking for an absolute quiet place? The library is a perfect hint.
"Hackathons" - programming contests are always an essential element to keep the company excited during the development process.
Facebook is also famous for its culinary space.
The catering staff is a full-equipped kitchen and kitchen team. Popular favorites like pizza, salad and yogurt are made in the office. They even hired a chef to cook.
The food is great and the menu changes every day. Employees have breakfast, lunch, dinner and coffee in the office, without any restaurants. Despite such comfort, Facebook encourages staff to go out and explore the surrounding area.
Facebook is in the process of opening a second cafeteria in the New York office. Before it was finished, the staff dined from these mobile cars.
Not only have the privilege of eating, but also experiencing the latest virtual reality games and technologies right at work.
They can go to these vending machines when they need a new battery, mouse, or keyboard.
The highlight of the office is the artwork. Creative works scattered all over the floor, performed by artists as well as the staff themselves.
.. and the wall is so brilliant. The works have the spirit of openness, the connection and the spirit connected with the world.
Instead of going somewhere for some paintings, they invite artists to work on the spot. This is interesting because not only are employees talking to the artist about the work they are doing, but the product has a clear Facebook style.
