In an unmarked office building on a beautiful suburban street in downtown Palo Alto, the burgeoning startup Pinterest does its magic.
Considering all the addicting beauty and visual orgasmica on Pinterest, the company’s headquarters are in a surprisingly drab building. You’d think the up-and-coming social platform would want a giant sign that proudly proclaimed its name, given the company’s meteoric rise. It seems all you need to do is step inside — there’s a lot more pizzazz within the walls of the loft-style office space, with plenty of visual touches that scream the vibe of the platform’s aesthetic.
With a staff of about 25 people, Pinterest is a fun yet hardworking group. And they have to be to drive more referral traffic than Google+, YouTube and LinkedIn combined. The website saw more than 11 million U.S. users spend an average of an hour and a half on the website at a given time — so the product developers are constantly working to stay ahead of the site’s colossal growth.
Pinterest staffers keep things fun with foosball breaks, Nerf darts and lots of Dr. Pepper. But don’t expect them to stay in one space so long — given Pinterest’s astounding rise in popularity over the last six months, there’s a good chance that they’ll be expanding into a bigger and more (p)interesting space in the near future.
