LONDON — Glassdoor UK, the jobs website that lets employees leave anonymous reviews and feedback on their employers, has compiled a list of the best offices in Britain.
Staff at Glassdoor have combed through pictures and reviews left on their site to pull together what they think are the 10 best offices in the UK.
They take into account everything from office design, amenieties, freebies, and the general atmosphere at the place.
Here are Glassdoor's pick of the top 10:
10. AKQA
Where? London.
What? A digital agency that creates products and services for clients.
Why? Glassdoor describes AKQA's offices as "a cool industrial design for their new Clerkenwell offices with a hint of luxury residential." Think exposed brick walls twinned with indoor plants and top of the line kitchen amenities.
What staff say: "I've been working at AKQA for over 3 years and still get the same buzz and excitement about projects that I did in year 1. Working with some of the best clients, on some of the most challenging and truly inspirational projects with teams that will push and support you all the way." — Current Employee
9. Zoopla
Where? London.
What? Zoopla is best known for its online property listings portal but owns a range of property-related tech companies.
Why? Zoopla moved into a new London Bridge office at the end of last year that was designed to mimic a house. The office is made up of themed areas including the library, above, a living room, dining room, wine cellar, and even a treehouse. The office also features a meeting room decked out to resemble a swimming pool.
What staff say: "The office is out of this world... Bruno our very own barista (what a hero!). Gym with fresh towel service (no excuses!). Free breakfast & daily snack time (hence why we have a gym!). Games room with arcade games, pool, table football, air hockey. Ping pong with free weekly coaching." — Current Employee
8. AO
Where? Bolton.
What? Online retailer of heavy kitchen equipment like washing machines and dishwashers.
Why? Like Zoopla, AO's offices feature themed rooms — but this time based on things like Lego and football. The head offices also have a restaurant and Starbucks on-site and, like any self-respecting tech or online business, have games like air hockey and pool.
What staff say: "Recruiting on the values means everyone is part of the same culture, like one big family! Free breakfast, chocolate, crisps and fruit! Starbucks and spa on site. They invest in their people with internal courses/development to help you make a career at ao." — Current employee
