Google Offices (Googleplex) Around The World

How well you work is often dictated by the people surrounding you as well as the place that you’re working at. Google is one of the places that many of us would just jump at the chance to be able to work at. Not all Google offices are alike however.

Different Googleplexes (Google Offices) have their own style and culture appropriate to the location but this is what makes the whole thing truly unique. Have a look at some of the Google Offices from around the world. Warning: Envy will definitely follow.

Before tech giants start offering eyebrow-raising perks (like paying the costs for female employees to freeze their eggs), the great allure to working in places like Google were the salary, facilities and their awesome offices. Being a big part of the Web for 16 years, Google has amassed a reputation for its offices being the ideal workplace.

Employers have free reign to decorate their own workspaces as they like, but the overall look and design of the Google office varies from country to country. The office interior adopts design cues that jive well with local culture because what better way to reflect your workers’ diversity and at the same time make them feel at home, right?
