What's your favorite part of the space?
My favorite part of the entire office is the communal kitchen and dining area. It's great to have such a large, open space because it gives the entire team the ability to eat together and hang out. We also use the large common space for fun team bonding activities and our weekly all-hands meeting. Additionally, the entire office has been branded to showcase our outer space theme. The concept of space really resonates with us because it speaks to pushing the boundaries of what is possible to reach new heights.

We have flexible, “modular” conference rooms that can be set up for smaller meetings or relocated to open up our space for big events. The ceilings in these rooms can be vented or completely closed off, and there are different lighting options like “think lighting” and “presentation mode.” We often refer to them as “spaceship rooms,” given their sleek and adaptive design.
