Facebook was a zoo in its early years. Basically a frat house. Google was also a complete boys club and full of misconduct. But you have to be a complete nerd to take your date to your office, even if it’s a nice office.
- dhosek 6y agoIt really wasn't a nice office. My wife worked there from 2005–2008 and I'd occasionally pick her up after work. I think the big thing was just that it was MySpace and at the time, it was the epitome of cool. They even had a record label https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySpace_Records https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySpace_Records Unlike Facebook, MySpace was heavily tied into the entertainment industry, especially music, but to a lesser extent film and stand-up comedy which probably contributed to the cool factor. The engineering culture was pretty heavily bro-grammer in a way I've never seen anywhere else.
