Interesting pictures of the environment. I truly like the new way of business and work environment created by new start ups as well by old and very successful like Google. BY no means it is much more pleasant and productive than corporate environment. But to answer the question: I would rather work for myself and create my own environment the way I want it.
I second that notion. There's nothing like working for yourself, and being able to create something special to present to the world in your own way. And watch is grow and succeed. I love startup business and enjoy being a founder. Its my passion. I'm the type of person that would much rather create my own company to compete with Facebook and Twitter, and capitalize on their opportunities than be employed by them.
I was leaning towards Facebook, but the third from last Twitter pic showed someone's desk with Sushi on it. I'm sold. A creative working culture of sushi eaters and bike riders. My kind of people. Facebook looks a bit more flashy, but that's ok. Twitter it is.
I like Facebook better, but either would be a step up from my current office. The company I work for (to remain nameless) was a trendy startup in 1998 but has since grown up and gone "corporate" in the decade since. I bet we could set a record for the most beige cubicles in one building.
Twitter's offices seem pretty dark. The video of Schwarzenegger visiting the Twitter offices was pretty dark too.
