Do You Need a Slide in Your Office?

SAN DIEGO—Some creative-office amenities are all form and no substance, while others only appear to be but are actually quite functional, iboss Cybersecurity‘s CEO and founder Paul Martini tells GlobeSt.com.  As we recently reported, the firm has invested more than $6 million to completely renovate the former SAIC World Wide Data Center that was closed when that company moved to Washington, DC, in 2009. iboss’s new global headquarters here is a two-story, 43,000-square-foot facility that incorporates leading amenities and interesting features meant to attract top talent—a 40-ft. slide in the center of the building, modern kitchens, indoor putting greens, swings and a spacious outdoor lounge with fire pits and barbeque grills. We spoke exclusively with Martini about the thought process behind the amenities—especially the slide—and why they serve an important purpose for this user.
