1. Amazon – Seattle, WA Amazon headquarters started in Jeff Bezos’ garage in Seattle, Washington. The year was 1994. Bezos was 30 years old when he quit his job on Wall Street and started the internet company that today brings in a whopping $61 billion a year. In December 2015, Amazon built a 37-story office building known as Amazon Tower I. Amazon Tower II is projected to be finished in September 2016, and Amazon Tower III is slated to be completed by the end of the decade. They are also building these three intersecting spheres right now. The spheres will be 65,000 square feet and the employees will be able to walk, lounge, eat lunch, brainstorm, and even conduct meetings in these spheres once they are complete.
2. Corus Entertainment – Toronto, Canada Corus Entertainment was formed in 1999 by JR Shaw, as a spin-off from Shaw Communications. Have you ever watched Saturday morning cartoons on the Cartoon Network? I know I have, and so have children around the world. Corus Entertainment is the broadcasting company responsible for those cartoons. Enter the headquarters of Corus Entertainment and see how kids around would want to grow up and work there, too. A 3-story slide and a five-story dual sided living green wall. Who wouldn’t want to work here?!
3. CBRE – Glendale, CA Formerly a Masonic Temple in Glendale, California, this building is now home to CBRE’s North Los Angeles office. The nine-story, 1929 landmark Art Deco building is 24,000 square-feet and was renovated in less than 10 months. Sometimes the workers are extremely busy. However, not to worry, because the amenities in their new office space offer a concierge service where workers can call a concierge to pick up and drop off their dry cleaning, fill their cars with gas, order a pedicure at their desk, arrange for party planning, and so much more.
4. Activision Blizzard – Santa Monica, CA Activision is the company that makes games such as World of Warcraft and Call of Duty. Ring a bell? Well, these employees have some fun while they work! Not only do they get to play video games all day, but, one day a year they have and annual company-wide squirt gun battle. All workers (and bosses) wear costumes and participate in this water gun fight.
5. Facebook – Manhattan, NY Located in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, Facebook’s New York operations do not disappoint. The building that houses Facebook is also home to AOL and Adweek. There are more than 300 employees in this two-story office, which has an assortment of amenities such as microkitchens, a library, a music room, and a pretty cool cafeteria named Desimone’s. Not the worst place to go to work everyday!
