Photos: A glimpse into Facebook Singapore’s newly renovated office
September 19, 2012 by Terence LEE
Facebook Singapore opened up its newly renovated sales office to the media yesterday. The office features a mish-mash of different themes. Graffiti created by local artists line the walls of the pantries and offices, along with replicas of shophouse shutters and windows. Blue lanterns adorn the ceilings.
These familiar local elements are mixed with what has come to define the quintessential Facebook office: Posters encouraging employees to “move fast and break things”, a wall for visitors and staff to write messages, and red industrial pipes that signify a company in constant evolution.
Photos from our visit below:
The giant 'f' greets visitors to the lounge. Greenery and sustainability is big at the office.
The pantry and dining area feels traditional and modern at the same time.
They take care of snacks (and dry cleaning too).
Facebook in Mandarin. That's the shutter you often see in shophouses in Singapore.
Facebook's famous posters that echo the company ethos.
More posters.
Facebook is known for emphasizing a flat hierarchy. Bosses sit together with their team, not in a separate room.
You can 'check-in' at the wall.
Envy is the common feeling for many visitors to the office.
The aforementioned red industrial pipes.
