I agree that this is the main reason. Facebook in Menlo Park is similar. There's not much within walking distance and certainly nothing that could handle the scale of thousands of workers showing up.
Salesforce is a company that generally has taken a different approach. There are no cafeterias, but many of the main offices are in urban areas with plenty of nearby infrastructure.

- closeparen 5y agoSalesforce Tower definitely has a cafeteria. I've been - they used to host a monthly board game night there.
- fatnoah 5y agoSorry, I wasn't clear. I was referring to a cafeteria where the company provides meals for you to eat vs. a place for you to eat your own food or company provided snack. I also haven't been to Salesforce tower, so it may be different from the other 5 or 6 offices I've been to.
