New office Zynga
Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA ) is a renowned developer of social games for Facebook, as well as mobile platforms. Among its most famous games are CityVille, FarmVille, Words With Friends and others. The company recently acquired a small company OMGPOP, known for playing DrawSomething for iPhone, and this is not its only purchase. The constant appearance of new games leads to an increase in the number of programmers, designers and other employees who need more and more new jobs. So last summer, Zynga opened a new office in San Francisco, California, USA, which became the company's main headquarters.
The office is located on the corner of Eighth Street and Townsend , occupying all 6 floors of the building with a total area of about 62 thousand square meters. Initially, Zynga rented most of the building, and in March of this year bought the entire building for $ 228M . After the purchase, the internal and external design of the building underwent substantial processing in accordance with corporate symbols and style. In the corners of the building are located 10-meter emblems of the company, with the image of a dog, after whom Zynga was named.
At the entrance to the building is Zynga-Bus

then you need to go through the famous "tube", consisting of thousands of colored LEDs that form different pictures,
after which visitors see a pointing arrow from round, randomly unfolded mirrors.
So the pipe looks outside:
Speaking of dogs. Of course, the company, which was named after the dog of its founder, cannot be indifferent to dogs. Dogs in Zynga are welcome guests, each employee can bring his dog (or dogs!) To work so that she does not miss home without a host.
Upon entering, we find ourselves in a cafeteria. Here, staff and guests have breakfast, lunch and dinner (completely free and in unlimited quantities - a buffet)
and on Fridays happy hours are held, each time devoted to an event in the life of the company. For example, this week will be celebrated with International Happy Hours, dedicated to numerous countries where there are company employees and players.
For everyone (those who do not want to dine in a cafe) there are cozy places in the bar on the underground floor,
as well as numerous cafes on each of the floors (coffee machines, a large selection of teas, drinks, sandwiches and light meals). In the bar, by the way, you can have a beer in the evenings, and watch a sports broadcast during the day.
On any of the six floors you can climb the stairs or on numerous elevators
On each floor the gallery is decorated with portraits of the characters of the games.
The second part of the building has a round shape, in the center of which there is a large atrium with a glass roof. It is decorated in the company's red and white corporate style.
Below are large television screens broadcasting news and sports programs.
a lot of tables and a variety of sofas, chairs and ottomans, where you can not only relax, but also work by taking a laptop.
Much attention is paid to healthy eating - there is always fresh fruit and drinks.
Also, to strengthen the health of employees, there is a gym on the lower floor with various exercise machines, where martial arts group classes, massage courses, and personal trainer classes are held.
"Convenience" is also equipped with the latest technology: automatic soap dispensers and contactless taps.
All premises of the building are accessible to people with disabilities, all staircases are duplicated by elevators or ramps - this is a mandatory requirement for all office buildings in the state of California.
The motto of the company "Unite the world through games" fully applies to those working here. For them there are many different slot machines.
as well as sports games: billiards, table tennis, office golf.
On the floors, near the workstations, there are racks with modern gaming consoles (PS, Wii, XBOX)
and very ancient consoles
And since we are talking about workplaces ... Here, perhaps, someone will be upset - an office in the style of open-space. And in some places quite open - without hints at partitions.
For those who do not like this style, some consolation will be the presence of a large number of meeting rooms around the perimeter of offices, where you can retire, for example, to make a phone call or just work in silence on a complex task. There are also halls for holding large meetings, they are equipped with facilities for organizing videoconferences, which allows you to hold meetings with the participation of people from other cities and countries.
Almost all employees work on laptops, connecting them to one or two stationary monitors. Developers mainly use MacBook Pro with SSD, managers and designers - Lenovo ThinkPad with similar characteristics.
By the way, the employees themselves draw up their jobs, using their creative abilities and printing capacities of the company. The result is very interesting wall paintings, for example:
Many employees use bicycles and / or public transport (San Francisco public transport is considered the most developed on the west coast of the United States). For those who drive, there is a parking lot on the roof of the building, which offers a great view of San Francisco.
