A GBase new hire's real experience: What kind of amazing company is this?

Published on 2021-11-21

I came to the Beijing office for an interview in September. After it was over, my only thought was — please, I absolutely must get this job.
 

Want to know why?

First, the location is simply unbeatable. Get off the subway and you're right at Cade Mall in Taiyanggong. The Taiyanggong Building is right next door — incredibly convenient.

And here, do you have to suffer waiting for takeout, or trudge to the same tired noodle shops by the entrance? No way!

Just walk 10 meters downstairs and the Taiyanggong Cade Mall instantly solves the “What's for lunch?” dilemma.

Then you step into the office — a clean, comfortable, spacious, and bright hallway, leading to an unconventional, design-forward workspace.

Yes, it really is that distinctive.

I've seen too many crammed offices where getting out of the innermost desk means navigating an S-shaped path: push this chair in, ask that person to scooch over.

Here, you can spin 360° in your chair freely, can't you?

And when you've been working hard at your desk and need a mental reset...

Pull up a high stool, pour a cup of tea, gaze out the window at passersby, let your mind wander, and refresh.

It wasn't long after joining that I celebrated my first Mid-Autumn Festival here.

Receiving such a thoughtfully prepared festival gift filled me with warmth and gratitude.

But all of this barely compares to what I found when I visited our Tianjin headquarters!

The headquarters occupies four floors — 20th to 23rd — in the East Tower of Putian Innovation Park, at 22 Kaihua Road, Huayuan Industrial Zone, Tianjin High-Tech Area. I'd heard about the space, but you have to see it for yourself to truly feel it.

 

Walking into the building, you're greeted by a grand, luminous lobby, with a café serving light meals and coffee right there.

Need a break, a change of scenery? This is an even better spot. Grab a coffee to refresh and recharge.

Then up to the office floors: a pristine reception area opens into the open-plan workspace.

 

 

Dignified yet tasteful meeting rooms, where all the discussions and collaborations happen.

 

In the tea break area, open the well-stocked fridge and pick your favorite guilt-free indulgence. Pop a cup into the coffee machine for a revitalizing brew. Find an empty seat, face the window, and just relax and unwind.

Beyond the regular break areas, the company also provides a gym and organizes a variety of sports activities for employees.

Show off your agility and break a sweat on the badminton court. Your family won't need to worry about your belly anymore.

There's basketball, table tennis, and much more……

Of course, we have interest groups for all these. Colleagues who share the same passion head out together after work to play some sports and wave goodbye to those wobbly bits.

To support business reception needs conveniently, the company also offers various high-end meeting and reception rooms for everyone to use.

After seeing all this, can't you wait to jump on board at GBase?

But wait, there's more!

As a foodie, how could I possibly skip checking out the cafeteria?

A sprawling, spotlessly clean, and perfectly organized dining hall.

It's self-serve, with a huge variety of dishes. Pick whatever you want, as much as you want. No more worrying about the cafeteria lady's shaky hand.

Extremely thoughtful design: besides the spotless main hall, there are many small private rooms. If you need a confidential chat, you can wrap it up right over a meal.

Next up are the things I've learned that truly give a warm feeling. For every big or small holiday, the company always arranges a little surprise.

At Christmas, the space is decked out with apples to wish everyone peace and safety.

Birthday parties are arranged with fruits and snacks, sending wishes of good luck and prosperity.

New Year brings exquisite gifts — and naturally, wishes for a happy new year!

Don't these comfortable workspaces, family-like atmosphere, and thoughtful touches make you envious? But no need to envy others. The moment you join GBase will be the moment others envy you.
