Working for Blizzard Entertainment - The Office

The Office

Whats at the office?

Around the office was alsorts of posters, concept art and the cardboard things you sometimes see put outside games shops. These were apparently the left overs from the last blizzcon.

Rooms

Apart from the large call centre type rooms, with rows of chairs with leader position at each end. There were numerous small offices and meeting/conference rooms. Which of course had video conference type stuff in them. All snazzy modern stuff.

Break Room

The Break Room was great, had a great view of the surrounding town being so high up. The wall was the window so you could see alot. Very panaramic.

There was a Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Wii and a large Plasma Screen that had Sky TV. The consles had things like guitar hero with the guitar. Alsorts of other stuff for the consoles to.

Also in this rather large room was a table tennis, Table Football, Pool Table and full kitchen stuff, fridge, sink, cupboards.. you know kitchen stuff lol.

Vending machines were vastly improved when Blizzard finally found an Irish company to adopt "new technogly" That being keyfobs. Everyone got keyfobs which automatically gave us credit each week to spend and we could add more credit to it to buy more stuff if we so required. The vending machines had everything from coke to redbull, sandwidges, crisps... dare i say it... vending machine type stuff... lol.

Toilets

The office had *shock horror*  nice brand new toilets with many cubicles and urinal . There were even female and disabelled toilets. I have quite a few funny stories about the toilets... but for now will keep them to my self lol.
