Inside Google's Offices
A look around Google's offices in the Warsaw HUB, from a work trip to Warsaw where a friend who works there showed me around.
I was in Warsaw for work, for discussions around HPC infrastructure design at my company. Dorian works at Google there, and knowing Warsaw is a serious tech hub I asked if he could show me around the offices. He could.
Google Warsaw HUB
Google’s been investing heavily in Poland. The office takes 14 floors of the Warsaw HUB tower, and Warsaw is also where Google opened its first Cloud region in Central and Eastern Europe.
Getting in
Upon arrival, I received a guest badge and could move freely through the designated areas.
The elevators
The elevator hall was lit in Google’s signature colors. Inside, a screen showed the building’s floor plan with which departments were on each floor.
The coffee corner
Free snacks, drinks, and somehow a full DJ setup in the corner. Wasn’t expecting that.
The restaurant
Google provides free meals for employees and, on some occasions, even for visitors. Unfortunately, by the time I got there, the restaurant had closed for the day.
The 30th floor
The 30th floor had a full panoramic view of Warsaw’s skyline, worth the trip up on its own.
Everything else
A few other things worth mentioning:
- Power nap rooms
- Gaming rooms with modern and retro games
- A fully-equipped gym on the top floor
Thanks to Dorian for the tour.
