Cool and modern building. Used to be a factory, completely renovated. Free soda, chips, coffee and discounted lunch for employees. Feels fun and whimsical. Open space working arrangement can work if there's little to no people, which when I went, was true. If it was packed, I wouldn't like it. Small gym and a games section. Cafeteria. Overall very cool!
