Google has an office in Switzerland where employees take meetings in gondolas, slide between floors, and are summoned to coffee by the 'Heidi' theme song

Meetings in the jungle lounge, free massages, and perpetually full refrigerators: In Google's offices, every detail aims to make employees feel at home.

That's because if people feel comfortable at work, they are also more productive, according to the philosophy of Google founder Larry Page.

This special working culture also attracts talent: In 2017, Google made the Forbes list of most popular employers for the sixth time.

The largest Google office on the European mainland is located in Zurich, where more than 2,000 employees work on products such as Google Maps, Youtube, and Gmail. Some of the space is open-plan offices which look quite normal, but most employees do not have a permanent desk.

Take a look at the mega-campus, where the self-proclaimed "Zooglers" spend their days:

The Google Campus in Zurich is located only a few minutes' walk from Lake Zurich on the grounds of an old brewery and extends over four floors.

Since January 2017, there has been a second location in the historic post office building at the main station. The employees also call themselves "Zooglers."

The first thing visitors see in Google Switzerland is this lobby. However, you can only enter the building if you are personally invited.

The meeting rooms on the campus are arranged according to different themes. There are about 100 different plants in the jungle lounge.
