Back in the 90s when I worked as a computer support guy, my company sent me to a user group meeting in Bellingham WA. I took the red-eye to Seattle, drove to Bellingham from there and then back home after the meeting. Then I kicked myself for being so stupid as to not think about how close I was to Microsoft's headquarters, and I could have taken an extra day to tour it. Retired now but working on my own freelance business, and this is on my list of things to do.
@@BradDietz Uh, from Cleveland. Flight was around 10 pm, they de-iced the wings twice before we took off, and when I got to Seattle the next day, Cleveland (snow-belt area) had been hit by a huge snowstorm. I had just missed it within hours.
It’s not like they are moving anytime soon. Other geeky destinations include Nintendo US HQ, Intel HQ, Amazon and Wizards of the Coast. All in the Seattle area.
man i loved working at Microsoft as IT support. Free drinks and free seattle's best coffee was a plus. Also, the food was extremely affordable and good quality.
Microsoft looks like they're run by indian CEO with so many indian employees right now. I wonder if there are White people at all at Microsoft at this point lol
@@vincentnnyc It was basically help desk for all employees and contractors...we would set up anywhere such as the cafeteria...I was a mobile tech and would go to different campuses in Redmond in Bellevue but we did things like virus removal/PC reimaging to setting up badge IDs....but really anything tech related

Be great if you could get online shopping delivered to your desk . Big buildings mean lots of walking. Used to work at Dixons - you had a 15 minute break., it took you 7 minutes to get to the break space, and 7 minutes to get back with 1 minute for a cigarette . One way systems used as a Covid regulation make no sense - if your desk is positioned just after an exit it means you have to work through all the staff's residual air walking round to the exit. Shortest path with wait for path to clear is much better at avoiding social contact or residual breath left on the path.
I work at an Amazon fulfillment center. Sometimes they get mad if you go over 30 minutes, including the time you walk half a mile to the break room, eat lunch, and walk back. They charge you an arm and leg for food. Someone shot themself in the parking lot when they got fired recently. Basically, not as great as the Microsoft headquarters. Also, we only have one building. Not even six!!!
as a loyal microsoft customer since 1993 (legal since 2015) ive never been tempted to try any apple product and using google just because there is no competing microsoft product
I got a 4.0 for my first data analysing clas. I want to take a following up class from it, if I am really good at it I would love to work for microsoft :)
The video showing Bill Gates and PaulAllen jumping into Lake Bill after the launch of Windows 95. It was like the pinnacle of success for the company in those days. The quality was a bit low since vhs was still used.
Six buildings, crazy how they just started with just six buildings. Today, they have much more buildings, they can house many more employees. Amazing how much they have grown from six buildings.
There are few things I hate more than suburban corporate campuses. Nobody wants to live in or commute to the suburbs, especially not young tech workers. It got so bad, it's becoming a recruiting hurdle for companies in Silicon Valley, because most people will choose an office in the city if they can.
I have seen companies having a play area in their campuses wherein they have game simulators, ping pong and what not. Do employees have restrictions on how long they can play. And are those free?
I worked at a different company with ping pong tables, etc. They are free, and there's no limit to how long you can play so long as you get your work done. Some tech companies are pretty relaxed on hours worked so long as stuff is being done.
I used to work for oracle, and they had a good sized arcade room with 6-7 different consoles and all sorts of games, as well as arcade games and such, all were free. Plus the vending machines were free as well. No limit on how much you could play/eat/drink, though I’m sure if you didn’t get work done, they’d probably restrict you.
I wonder how many buildings there were at first. I guess we'll never know.
I think they mention this somewhere in the video, but it’s subtle and really easy to miss.

I don't think you missed much. It's just a building with cubicles and offices.
You ask where is building 7 like you ask where is Windows 9.
Xavier: how have you been?
xaviiiiieeeeeer
Ohh wow! Window 9 is facing east
Great sunrise view 🌄

I'm sure that's why they get special training.
Take a shot every time he says 6 buildings
My favourite part was when he said “six buildings”
They were like the home of microsoft
Did you know, they started out with just...six buildings
Having that beautifull site and still 90% of employees would choose remote if possible
You say that until the novelty of it wears off. Everything gets old eventually and you don't know the REAL experience until you work there yourself.
@@C3IAM ive worked on big corporate hq's so please don't assume that I haven't. If im talking about something that means I have experience on it, otherwise I would have not expressed my opinion
Actually, most of it is under construction. They got rid of all the old buildings. The video shows what's going to be there and is computer generated
I'm the 10% I guess

The only thing missing are the beds. Work - Play - Sleep - Repeat. NEVER LEAVE!
I love the concept of the High Five Hallway :D :D :D Be nice to someone and give him a high five is aweseome :)
It's so impressive that there were 6 BUILDINGS
Surreal architecture
I think there were only 6 buildings...
Beautiful headquarters! Would love to visit
Fun fact: Bill Gates never imagined Microsoft being over 80 employees, because, at the time, computers were used only by corporations or hobbyists.

If I only had a penny whenever you said nerd in a sentence.
drink a shot every time he says "6 buildings"
They got better at naming buildings… immediately moves to ‘Building 92’
The entrance should be called the Bill "Gates"
Microsoft camps is so interesting🤩 i really wanna vist Microsoft camps and wanna work there .
Very nice 👍ยอดเยี่ยมมากค่ะ
Professional Class
Of course I was thinking the whole time between Microsoft and Apple
Apple's HQ looks cooler but this looks much more friendly and comfortable. I would choose Microsoft.
guys do you think there were 6 building originally?
What is organisation. Putting things in proper places and different functionary groups and ordering.
THANK YOU KAK.

Ireland is firmly involved in Microsoft so much money spend in Ireland along with other multinationals
I've learned that initially there were 6 BUILDINGS, 6
Might as well live there
Very informative video.i prefer microsoft over its competitors.thats why I watch this video not videos of Apple and Amazon.
Yes.good video this.

You forgot to mention how many buildings there where initially. Looked it up for you, it was 6. Could’ve mentioned it a couple of times maybe.
LMAO
Wonderful 💋 Presentation
I wonder if they have a custom PC building place...
I Work in building 7 .
numbered building, so familiar to mit students
Everybody knows building 7 is Daman's Bar and Grill
Thats cool
If I'm exhausted and overworked, last thing I'd be wanting to do is go jogging!! LMFAO!!
I'd be finding a bed somewhere and taking a long nap!! LoL!!
And now we know why MS Offfice home edition is unaffordable. I only use opensource office stuff now days.
The BILL-dings are numbered interesting..
The rest is history, quite literally. (Cold❄️)
im now on my 61st application been slammed 60 times so far, im thinking about applying for security and work my way into a dev position.
try getting a referral!!
I work for Apple and still thought this was pretty cool.
and then thinking about why the O365 partially still has Classic UI, yes I do want to see the headquarters

I am wondering that they are using Microsoft Edge at headquarter or not.
How many buildings there used to be again?
amazing, what about if no piracy of windows, i can't imagine what office looks like
5:38 those two girls talking about dude for missing a belt loop
do they use any MAC at all?
Everyone there would probably feel insulted if you mentioned that.
i like the high5 hallway personally for some reason lol
