Talk about the ultimate work environment! This work space looks like a playground for grown-ups. The Google offices in Zurich, Switzerland were designed for maximum efficiency and total play space. They've got everything from fun brainstorming boards to foosball tables.
No wonder Fast Company chose Google to top their list of the World's 50 Most Innovative Companies!
"Working in Switzerland offers the same benefits of working at our Silicon Valley campus: the challenge of interesting problems, a community of world-class technical minds, a relaxed but focused working environment, and access to an amazing pool of computing resources and data," Google Switzerland explains.
The employees based there are known as "Zooglers". I want to be a Zoogler!
