Google is no secret to the web and now has several campuses across the globe. The Google Zurich office is what we have come to expect from the online behemoth. Colorful and filled with stuff like a fire pole and spiral slide.
Google was founded in 1998 the search company has since grown to a nearly 20,000 employee multinational corporation. After the initial coverage of the Googleplex, the worldwide headquarters, Google has been known for both creative and fun workplace, Google’s Zurich office maintains that notion.
Much like other Google offices workers have access to dining areas, tewnty-four hour tech support and plenty of fun stuff for employees to unwind. The workspace has fast access to both floors with not only a spiral metal slide but a fire pole for fast access across the office with a fun twist. Rooms are filled with beanbags, video game consoles and games such as foosball. Workspaces are highly customized and, as expected, house plenty of large displays. Take a look into the Switzerland based Google offices below!

I suppose when I have my own studio I can implement such things.

Definitely beats going down the stairs. It looks like they only have cardio, too bad they don’t have strength training equipment.

[...] This post has a little background to its inspiration.At the start of Summer 2009, we started Official as a way to showcase the offices of companies that “get” creative culture. The numbers are slowly increasing, but it’s ended up serving a more important role. We’ve seen the kinds of things that make companies more than just a place to work. These are the types of companies that create lifestyles you want to be a part of. [...]
