  • Buxom Beer Wench Graces Ladies’ Room at Twitter HQ

    When your company is under fire for its lack of women in leadership roles, and your CEO makes a pretty ill-advised response to said criticism, the last thing you want to be doing is promoting anything – anything that could be perceived as even borderline sexist, misogynistic, or any other type of -ist, -ism, or -istic.

    Twitter engineering manager Jill Wetzler tweeted this photo of a sign she found in the women’s restroom at Twitter HQ. Hashtag facepalm indeed.

    I mean, it’s probably just advertising some social gathering for engineers. Hey, it is Oktoberfest at Twitter HQ…

    And it’s just a dumb sign. But given that Twitter’s IPO filing shone a light on the fact that Twitter’s board, investors, and most of the officers are all men? Well, let’s just say it’s pretty poor timing.

    A Look Inside Twitter Headquarters

    Last month we brought you some photos from Facebook Headquarters in Menlo Park. Now we have found some of their social network “rival”, Twitter.

    This is the fourth separate headquarters they have moved into, and is located in the Mid Market neighborhod of San Francisco. The last on was in the SOMA neighborhood, also in San Francisco and images of that office can seen seen here.

    These images are taken by Troy Holden and the rest of the set can be seen here.

    The office building certainly has its charms, including a great view of San Francisco from the garden located on the roof, a game room, and multiple lounge and eating areas. Tech companies are in a serious battle to see who can outdo the other in terms of office perks. Twitter keeps things comparably low key while still offering some of the same amenities. No Google skate park or climbing wall here. It appears that they also only have one large cafeteria, so it looks like Facebook wins in that regard, with multiple on campus restaurants and outdoor snack bars. But truly, is all that really necessary?
