I’m currently doing a lot of research on how to design and build the best EA office possible. Besides Trajan, Constellation, and Lightcone, what other offices have people worked in that they thought were super great? What made them so good to work in?
Good/reliable AC and ventilation are very important IMO.
Kind of obvious list, but things that I’ve enjoyed about other offices I’ve worked at:
Interesting/fun people. Good water cooler conversation can provide me a lot of energy.
Ambitious/hard-working people. Lunch time conversations with people working on cool projects and seeing people work in the evenings can be inspiring.
Natural light.
Large kitchen/congregation area, separate to people trying to work for conversation.
