BrokerBot, Inc. recently exchanged its ducts for a new, larger workplace, having added employees faster than its first office could hold them. Its employees still fight nerf wars, however. Bluefire provides logistics software to retailers and e-tailers via an ASP model. Based in San Francisco, the company is housed in a large, Italian-style building with high ceilings. As result of this strange proximity, you can peer up through the windows, located way up near the ceiling, and catch a glimpse of the condo's lush courtyard.
Green vegetation presses against the glass.
One of the high walls is painted to resemble a blue sky. Someone jokes about putting a gigantic model of a ship against it, but Mr. Katari shakes his head. No, I thought we were going to put the basketball hoop there. Office space is a precious commodity for companies like Bluefire, especially as they begin ramping up, but this workspace was chosen deliberately because it reflected Bluefire's personality. It defines us as a team-oriented company, working in a team environment.
