At Nvidia’s headquarters, the AI chips that propelled the company to a $2-trillion valuation were used in custom software that helped design the space-ship-like buildings. The tech company’s office in Santa Clara, California, is now one of the most sought-after places to work.

WSJ took a tour of the campus - and chased down a robot - to find out what an office with over one million square feet looks like.

Open Office
Offices are as unique as the companies they house. This WSJ series takes viewers inside standout spaces to show the amenities–and quirks–that separate them from the rest, as designers and company executives explain the reason behind it all.

    We heard what the architects think, but would love to hear what the people working there think of this design.
  • They’ve managed to design something that makes you feel lonely even when you’re with others Now that is talent
  • @bobsworth7082
    It literally looks like a mid 2000s airport terminal
  • @profmerlinpants
    Looks so big but feels like something is missing and empty.
  • @juandenz2008
    There are an increasing number of studies that show that the risks of open plan offices outweigh the benefits. It feels more like an airport terminal than a place for concentration on a tricky technical problem.

    I feel like Modern workplaces all have one MO: 1. Angles 2. Depressingly modern 3. Very iittle actual workspace 4. Uncomfy weird chairs

    My dream is to never work in open offices again. I have yet to be in an open office that doesn't suck the soul out of you and leave you drained with a headache at the end of the day, I always end up using sitting with my AirPods Pro in my ears all day to get some peace and quiet time to focus on actually working. Not listening to music, just the rain "noise generator" to drown out the last part of chatter.

    "the hi-tech roof removes noise" 4:51 almost yelling at each other with an awful background noise

    Those are NASA references, not Star Trek references.

    Been beating myself up a bit that I sold my 53 shares of NVDA at $303 each back in May 2023. Now thinking of liquidating a few other investments to rebuy but afraid to do so. I also currently have 500k in savings making me next to nothing.

    When you want that airport experience without actually travelling...
  • Soul crushing liminal space not unlike a drab mall or airport. Would love to hear what the employees who have to work there think.
  • @fabiocimo
    Well, this looks much like an airport, with lounges in different floors and opposite directions and terminals that are connected. The question is, if I go to the wrong direction for a meeting, it will take me 20 minutes to get to the other side, which is exactly the problem with airports. We went from cubicles to massive open spaces as if there's nothing in between. Most people would appreciate if they didn't randomly run across their C-levels while walking to a meeting or at the bar.
  • I have been buying their video cards since the beginning. I am now on my 4090. My name should be on at least one of those triangles.
  • @heman248
    This looks like a shopping mall
  • @realm8286
    Mr. Dahlgren's lack of blinking was kinda terrifying.
  • The architect was explaining simulation of sun light like if this is brand new. AutoCAD Revit software did this for many years.
  • @emetzger
    you need an app to know where the bathroom is. great design.
  • @novabalm
    Honestly the colours and design feel kinda soulless, almost 1984-like
