My company had Sonos in the bathroom playing music non-stop. The best part was that you never knew what you were going to get. Wu-Tang one day followed by Yanni the next.

It is odd that software companies spend a ton of money on amazing office environments yet bathrooms still feel like you are inhabiting a barn yard.

I worked at a startup where the single room bathroom opened into the kitchenette. It's rather unpleasant to smell your co-worker's poo as you're heating up your lunch.

I'm not sure if the office space was like that when they leased it, or if they had it designed that way intentionally due to space constrains. But when they expanded the office, they missed the opportunity to change the bathroom so it opened into a hallway of the new square-footage.
