At WebNotes, we believe that where you work reflects what you do. To that end, we’ve decided to post a few photos of our sweet setup on the 11th floor of 100 Memorial Drive apartments.
Besides a breathtaking view of the city and a large clean space, we were lucky enough to have the City of Boston anchor the fireworks barge right in front of our apartment. We couldn’t resist hosting a 4th of July party, and don’t think any of us had ever been this close to fireworks before.
When you tell most people that you’re in a startup working in an apartment room, they get the picture of sleeping bags, soda cans, and half-empty pizza boxes strewn around. To set the record straight, the office we work at is actually our office, not where we sleep.
We even have a conference room, where we usually go for meetings. Although it seems silly to move ten feet into the adjacent room to have a meeting when everyone you need to meet with is already 5 feet away from you, having that space set aside just for meetings makes a big psychological difference in terms of focus. It’s difficult to garner attention and have productive meetings when everyone is spread apart on the rim of the room, facing their computer screens. Having that intimacy of sitting
around the same table works wonders.
On a side note, we go shopping weekly to stock the fridge and pantries with drinks and requested goodies. And as of now, we have far too much beer left over from the 4th of July. No worries though — Bennett has been dealing with the problem on a daily basis.
P.S. Then there’s always The Office.
