A renovated warehouse turned into a bright, contemporary lounge space in the new facebook headquarters - a turntable is featured in the foreground

The new Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto is like Google’s HQ, but with an extra dash of class. I found this quote in the accompanying article really intriguing:

“Because the new facility houses employees coming from various locations, the company wanted to maintain each division’s distinct identity.”

Giving your people freedom to contribute to your company’s culture means more than just giving them a blank slate to build on. You’ve got to provide a foundation and a framework that inspires contribution and collaboration.
