London’s Youtube offices are interesting to say the least (20 Photos)

: The YouTube Offices as imagined by the PENSON Group has a “back of stage look with some cool detailing and a film-set look and feel.” The floor has a YouTube Walk of Fame with content selected by the company and broadcast on a series of screens, a cinema room with velvet curtains and padded seats and The Creator Space (a studio which Goddard says will host YouTube film-makers when they get a certain number of hits) are just a few of the highlights characterizing the YouTube Offices in London.

This is the London Google Complex…and happens to be a few shots of the YouTube floors.

you'd think that for a youtube office it would be filled with pictures of cats like most of its video content.

they should make it's employee's watch a 15 to 30 advert before the bathroom door unlocks, or to dispense toilet paper, turn on air hand dryer… and so on

They do better than that, the door with a wheel marked " do not turn to open, PULL" actually only opens when turned. Sometimes we like to sit there and watch the hipsters commit suicide one by one as soon as they instagram that shit

I think most of these comments reflect the envy of people who work in really boring spaces. Don't be mad because you work in a grey cubicle. The anti-hipster sentiment is getting almost as annoying as hipsters themselves.

kenny

said the fucking hipster

Antihumanracehuman

Oh really? Please why don't you sing me the song of your people

Am I the only one that scrolled down with the intent of finding Austin Powers in one of these photos? …I can't be.

chiverX

Yeah baby, yeah!

Canebros

Why do they need an office for YouTube outside of the one controlling office for IT? Site runs itself.

I am lost.

Business development, partnerships, etc. Google acquisitions instill business requirements.

There are some foolish, foolish people posting today. Evolution will hit everyone sooner or later. Respect to the few that got it.

Some companies and almost every "startup" spends way too much money trying to create a hipster paradise office. If I were a stakeholder, I'd be pissed. Spend that money somewhere else that will generate higher revenue.

There are a lot of studies out there that suggest a more comfortable workspace can boost productivity and creativity. Considering that these kind of ventures go beyond just programming and require creativity to get the projects started, this could be money well spent. If everything else were the same benefits and pay-wise, what kind of places do you think talented minds are going to be more attracted to? So not only does this help with creativity for current employees, it also attracts new ones.

duder

did that space look comfortable? you could say it invites innovation and out of the box thinking but the office design is in-cohesive and unorganized. As i designer i would hate to work there [in someone else twisted view of what an inspired office looks like]

KCO617

The reason why many startups experience preposterous turnover is due to a lack of comfortability. The experience sells new-hires, and keeps the creative asses in the seats for years to come. If every office looked like a cubical waste land then the startup life would SUCK.

duder

Agreed. I just can't reconcile with that office in particular. It's more creative than that cubicle i'm in currently …but i wouldn't stay with a company simply to be in that office. just my opinion.

I think it goes farther than just the office though. The fact that they are willing to put in that kind of effort into the offices leads me to believe that they will give their employees the kind of leeway they need to come up with creative ideas.
