They had an enclosure containing an environment for growing micro greens you could pick yourself. lol. It wasn't for us I/O'ers, though. I was impressed, but maybe I haven't been spoiled yet.

They did just have the one cafeteria when I was there, but I wouldn't talk it down. Waterloo isn't that large of an office, relatively speaking.

I wouldn't be surprised that the NYC location is slaying Kitchener/Waterloo. I'd hope so! I think the last time I was up that way was pre-university drinking with friends in Guelph and at the Sleeman Brewery. It's a nice place, and becoming more of a research and development hub, but still has a way to go.




The microgreens are not for self-picking, but the kitchen staff picks from it.

It's impressive to get fed 3 meals a daily, yes. Many things are impressive. But you'd be amazed how entitled the average Googler gets after a few months.

It is still a job after all.


I guess we all get pretty used to our comforts when they come and what was once normal changes.
