PC and mobile security software firm, Avast Software, has opened a larger and more innovative new headquarters Prague.
The need for more space was a result of Avast’s significant growth and success in recent years, according to Vince Steckler, Avast CEO.
The antivirus company has more than tripled in staff in the past five years and is now in a building that will support the next phase of its growth, he said.
“Avast has chosen a building that reflects its open, innovative and inspirational company culture,” Steckler explained. “With this move we plan on continuing to grow in the mobile sphere, to further expand our SMB and enterprise business and to provide consumers with innovative security they will need in an Internet of Things world.”
There are 45 meeting rooms where employees can get together to strategise and collaborate. Avast employees also have a Silicon Valley style cafeteria, which serves fine food for free from morning until late afternoon. The cafeteria is furnished with picnic-style tables and benches, supporting coincidental meetings among employees who normally may not sit together.
Steckler added: “Our previous offices were really nothing fancy and that’s putting it nicely. Now we have a terrific place for our employees to come to work. And it offers an environment, which we’re sure will allow for greater interaction between departments and, in turn, lead to greater innovations.”
