Google HQ

Surely, the Google HQ THE BEST place to work. So good infact that it's hard too see how any work actually gets done. With rules like 'not being allowed to be more than 100 metres away from food at any time', surely work is a second priority. Google want to be known as the company that puts users first and there is a heavy emphasis on the idea that work and play can co-exist. Its offices house a games room, a library in the style of an English country house and an aquarium where over-worked Googlers can lie in a bath full of red foam and stare at fish. Offices have bean bag chairs and heading down to the floor below involves taking a slide or firemans pole down (on the basis that you take no laptops or drinks with you!). If the day ever came where employees were feeling under stress, they can visit the massage parlour followed by a nap in one of Google's sleep pods. With more than 70 offices in more than 40 countries around the globe Google must have hundreds of happy employees!!

With the offices designed in such a way, employees must look forward to coming into work and calling in sick must be a rareity ...and not just because there is an on site doctor!
