• Cool: a look inside the new Facebook HQ

I can't post everything here since its just mainly pictures but it is impressive [URL]http://mashable.com/2012/04/07/facebook-hq/[/URL] It’s been a little more than a year since Facebook bought a 57-acre campus on the outskirts of Menlo Park in Silicon Valley, and started the slow process of turning it into its headquarters of the future. Well, the future is now. As of last week, every last Facebook staffer has been moved into the Menlo Park facility, which is almost unrecognizable compared to the way it looked a year ago. Mashable checked in on the new Facebook HQ in December, but there’s been a lot going on since then. The entire campus has a fresh coat of paint — not to mention fresh graffiti-style spray painted and stenciled artwork everywhere. (Employees are encouraged to “hack their space.”) We got an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at what makes Facebook tick — the high-tech booking systems, amusingly-named conference rooms, and premium caffeination facilities. (What really makes Facebook so eager to constantly upgrade itself? Two words: Philz Coffee.) We saw plenty of things that make working at the social network so much fun — including a wall where Jeremy Lin had marked his height, towering above the rest of the staff.
Looks pretty nice with the exception of that shitty green fence. Haha, "DONE IS BETTER THAN PERFECT", that's a shame.
Way too gimmicky. It's technologically advanced, that's very cool, but it's not pretty, amusing or anything related in my opinion.
Perhaps they should spend their time making the mobile app usable instead of drawing on the walls.
trying way too hard
hipstery

'Puff, the Magic Drag-N-Drop' made me laugh.
Their attempts to break from the corporate mold is only making them seem more distant.
I liked the way it looked in The Social Network of course, that could be entirely fake
Funny to see how fast a company can grow in just 8 years.

I'd work there too, it looks like a fun place to work. Kinda like the offices of google.

The people in this thread who said they would turn down a job offered to them by Zuckerburg are all idiots. Just saying.

did they put scooters in the hallways because "working there is quirky and kewl" yet
They've taken the "unfinished" look way too far. And meme-inspired conference room names? Awkward.

I don't think I'd be able to enjoy working there since I'd be too busy cringing at all the dumb memes.
they could atleast used blue motherboards for that Facebook logo :effort:
