The location part was especially intriguing. New York is a cramped, highly-populated city with lots of buildings, so it's a great place to work on location functionality since the margin of error is very small.
Pandurangan offered one scenario of a possible location-focused project the New York team might work on: "One of the things that could be cool is, for instance, [if] there's an earthquake in San Francisco and I open Twitter, wouldn't it be cool if it were pushed to the phone that, 'Oh, there's an earthquake near you. Twitter New York keeps in touch with San Francisco and other Twitter offices via video conferencing technology, which is all over the office. Vine, which Twitter acquired in , is also in the building.
The subperson company-within-a-company sits on building's top floor. We have access to their resources and knowledge so it's really the best of both worlds. Vine's team is half engineering, Toff said, and then a mix of product, design, content, editorial, marketing, and operations. Vine relies on Twitter proper for some functions such as HR and Finance. It does not yet sell ads, so there is no sales team. Instead of reporting into larger departments within Twitter, the heads of each department report into Toff and Toff reports to Kevin Weil, the Senior-VP of product at Twitter.
Toff said living and working in New York City has helped him build a better product. I think that leads to a better product," Toff said. Pandurangan also spoke highly of the benefits that come along with operating in multiple cities. But the recent rise in the more virulent Delta variant of the coronavirus has once again made co-working a risky proposition, even for vaccinated individuals. The spokesperson did not indicate how many Twitter employees had been working out of the now-closed offices.
Twitter's move follows a fresh recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals to wear masks in public , indoor spaces where local COVID case counts are surging dur to the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant. Just weeks ago, many small and large corporations and their employees had circled Sept.
But they too have pulled back on plans to summon workers back to the office , given the risks that the more transmissible Delta variant poses. Log out. US Markets Loading H M S In the news. We need more than characters to describe Twitter's Manhattan office. We swung by Twitter's Manhattan hub on a sunny May morning. The company's signature bird logo greeted us in front of the building — which is really two earlyth-century warehouses stuck together.
Our first stop was the lobby, which has a coffee bar The room has an old-fashioned, Art-Deco vibe, and is a hot spot for employees looking for an afternoon pick-me-up. It makes me feel special. The coffee bar also comes with a Ripple Maker, which "prints" designs on your beverage.
We swiped through the options and decided to make a coffee concoction emblazoned with Twitter's "compose" symbol. Coffee isn't the only drink available in this office. There's also beer on tap. Patrons can listen to some of the classic records we found over by the straws and sugar packets There are also a bright red phone booths for private phone calls and some comfy seats for anyone looking to chill down here.
