To me it means they are showing effort and interest in the workplace environment, and not just making it a drab cubicle farm, and messages something beyond just the actual stuff like dogs and music instruments.
BTW, nothing personal but I hate trying to explain my writing as I am a big fan of metaphor and ambiguity.
- cballard 11y agoI have dogs in my office. They run around and bark all the time. Their presence shows to me that serious engineering work is not important, but the image of being a "startup" is. The idea of a musical instrument being played while I am trying to focus on engineering is horrifying. There's also a whole world of potential designs besides "drab cubicle farm" and "kindergarten mashed-up with ComicCon". For example, the 37signals[1] office. If they want to show effort and interest in the workplace environment, they should try providing private offices with doors that close. [1] https://37signals.com/office https://37signals.com/office
