Wow, Aeron chairs at a conference table. I usually only see them in posh marketing firms where executives sit in conferences all day.

One of my mentors told me once that once he sees Aeron chairs at a startup, he not only doesn't invest, he cuts the meeting short and leaves running away from the company.

From the corner office straight to the chiropractor (classy verizon T, by the way):

I guess that might be a holding pen for reporters, and not an office, though. Then check out this stupid car:

How stupid is that? The King Tiger tank (69 Tons) produced 690 horsepower. That car (1.5 tons) produces 612 horsepower. What a waste. And your typical diesel locomotive might product 3000+ horsepower (about 5 times as much) while hauling millions of pounds. And it doesn't even compare to a real car for looks:

This is OK but I'd be more interested in seeing where these companies started out -- in a dorm room, around a kitchen table... any place else?

Most of these places look like they have a great work environment. Getting a tour of these companies must have been an awesome experience.

We want all our companies to have offices like this.
