It's kinda ugly. They seriously couldn't build a new building that looks like an actual office and not a warehouse with all the money they make?
It's filled with activities you do once. You mark your height once. You draw something on the wall... once. That's it. There's nothing special about this building. I could easily see this space being used by a company that isn't known word wide that makes billions of dollars.
I think this is neat as hell. Imagine watching the art pieces slowly grow and take formation as you commute around the campus each day.
They may be laying the whole 'open workplace' thing on a little thick, but at least it looks like a fun place to work. I wish I worked somewhere fun...

Me too, man, all I've ever worked is construction, walmart, and now dollar general.
Slowly getting less miserable, but hardly what I would consider fun.
I think the place looks neat as hell, and very light-hearted.
Although I did cringe at the meme's on the wall.
ITT: People judging a building they've never been to based on 10 pictures they saw online.
When i first read the thread title, i thought it said "Facepunch HQ"

i've changed my mind
It's so shiny and perfect I would puke if I wasn't already empty from all the "Synergy" screaming pictures of the Google and Apple HQs.
Multi Million Dollar companies build shiny new HQs, who would have thought that.
I'd still rather work for [url=http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1947844,00.html]Google[/url].

Their on-site store sells woolly green hats with android antenna sticking out, do want.
Not to mention they seem really laid back there, and have oodles of interesting projects ongoing.
Damn, I was really hoping that the title was a pun and that their HQ was actually inside a glacier like a supervillain lair or something. I have never been more disappointed than I am right now.

I'll agree that the googleplex is one of the coolest places to work because they're so relaxed and awarding when you get the job done
With all the spray paint, I wonder how long it'd take someone to notice if someone sprayed a nice big "+1" somewhere on a wall. Or a Google+ logo.

Apparently the other 5 are planned too. Just sayin'.
Facebook is one of the biggest crooks in the corporate world, I don't see how anyone can defend them.
I have to thank them for plastering the walls in memes and pony pictures, so now they're greedy AND annoying.

Don't worry, it shouldn't annoy you too much considering it's inside their building, which you are free to not enter.

You know what I'm not free to do? Tell Facebook to not sell my information to companies.
