Ask HN: Examples of cool stuff in your office We've just moved into our new office. New staff and there's no real 'office' culture built yet. What kind of cool examples do you guys have in your offices? that makes it an awesome place to work. Most team members are Sales reps.. I remember reading somewhere a startup having a bell that they would ring everytime a sales rep closes a sale. stuff like that? Would love to hear your suggestions :) |
The engineers in your office would HATE this. Imagine, you are deep in concentration developing the latest feature and someone rings a bell. Distracting at best, detrimental to morale and code quality at worst.
If I worked on a team which had just closed a $10mm enterprise sale, I'd probably be at the bar with the sales reps, and the only bells ringing would be in my head.
At Amazon, this would get absurd.
We just got a wii (team has been playing mario kart)
