Inside Microsoft's Insane Headquarters

Inside Microsoft's Insane Headquarters.

Everyone’s heard about Microsoft, but have you ever thought about where everything happens? Where is its headquarters? What does it look like? Is it just a giant factory with a lot of nerds and machines?

Where should we start? There is so much to talk about. For example? The giant mall inside Microsoft city. The Bill lake. The high five corridors. The maker's garage. Or, the awesome, building eighty seven where all sorts of top-secret projects are under the procedure.

I wonder how many buildings there were at first. I guess we'll never know.

Back in the 90s when I worked as a computer support guy, my company sent me to a user group meeting in Bellingham WA. I took the red-eye to Seattle, drove to Bellingham from there and then back home after the meeting. Then I kicked myself for being so stupid as to not think about how close I was to Microsoft's headquarters, and I could have taken an extra day to tour it. Retired now but working on my own freelance business, and this is on my list of things to do.

I feel like this video was completely put together by an AI.

Six Buildings is implanted in my brain forever.

man i loved working at Microsoft as IT support. Free drinks and free seattle's best coffee was a plus. Also, the food was extremely affordable and good quality.

You ask where is building 7 like you ask where is Windows 9.

Nerds are the modern day magicians, respect.

Take a shot every time he says 6 buildings

[kevinli]

My favourite part was when he said “six buildings”

I love the concept of the High Five Hallway :D :D :D Be nice to someone and give him a high five is aweseome :)

Having that beautifull site and still 90% of employees would choose remote if possible

I work at an Amazon fulfillment center. Sometimes they get mad if you go over 30 minutes, including the time you walk half a mile to the break room, eat lunch, and walk back. They charge you an arm and leg for food. Someone shot themself in the parking lot when they got fired recently. Basically, not as great as the Microsoft headquarters. Also, we only have one building. Not even six!!!

Be great if you could get online shopping delivered to your desk . Big buildings mean lots of walking. Used to work at Dixons - you had a 15 minute break., it took you 7 minutes to get to the break space, and 7 minutes to get back with 1 minute for a cigarette . One way systems used as a Covid regulation make no sense - if your desk is positioned just after an exit it means you have to work through all the staff's residual air walking round to the exit. Shortest path with wait for path to clear is much better at avoiding social contact or residual breath left on the path.

The only thing missing are the beds. Work - Play - Sleep - Repeat. NEVER LEAVE!

Fun fact: Bill Gates never imagined Microsoft being over 80 employees, because, at the time, computers were used only by corporations or hobbyists.

Beautiful headquarters! Would love to visit

[rokaspietaris]

It's so impressive that there were 6 BUILDINGS

[perryjones]

I think there were only 6 buildings...

If I only had a penny whenever you said nerd in a sentence.
