What appears in your mind when hearing the word Opera? One might think of is the web browser with the "O" the familiar red colour is used the user to browse the internet, either on your mobile phone, tablet, or the desktop. In the eyes of netters, Opera is not foreign, but the fact is, perhaps not many people know that this browser came from Norway. Opera is a product developed by a software company named Opera Software ASA.
Opera Software headquarters is in the city of Oslo. Initially, the Opera was conceived from a research project in 1994 in Norway owned telecommunications company, Telenor. The lapse of a year later, the project evolved independently into a company named Opera Software ASA. From the original only managed about seven people, Opera Software has grown rapidly into an international company that employs approximately 700 employees from dozens of countries.
Located not far from the heart of the city of Oslo, an Opera which already was a dozen years looked modern but simple. Nothing fancy or exaggerated impression on Office led by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Lars Boilesen. Simple, functional, flexible but maybe that's the phrase that is most suitable to describe the building became an important part of the Opera during this trip.
The official address in the path of Waldemar Thranes Gate 98, Opera Software headquarters is located in a five-story building near the River Akerselva. There is no striking of the headquarters of the Opera because it is almost similar to that of the surrounding buildings. But here, there are many unexpected things that may be found. For example, the gateway to the Opera turned out to be just a little red door glass bearing the logo of Opera Software. This is the main access door entrance to the building, where the Opera only occupied two out of five floors, floors 2 and 4.
To get to the Office of the Opera, should turn up the stairs and pass a small alley. No lift is available for employees or customers to visit this Office. Really simple, isn't it?
Each floor in the building of the headquarters of the Opera is connected by stairs, with the doors and narrow roads without clear directions. Go to the Opera like down a labyrinth that could make everyone go astray.
Most of the work room in the headquarters of the Opera is a minimalist designed small, but functional. In some rooms, the dominance red color typical of Opera seem lumpy. In addition to providing a complete working system, facilities that are flexible enough to make the employees to be more comfortable to work.
With employees who came from almost all corners of the world, cultural diversity and traditions from around the world can converge on the headquarters of the Opera. The relationship between the employee have also always taped them all together through several corporate events, such as a cooking activity by employees of certain countries to then be enjoyed by hundreds of other employees.
To be sure, the diversity of cultures created by the Opera in his headquarters is indeed unique. This is the effort that they have done to understand the needs of users around the world. For opera, every person is indeed very unique. Therefore, they always attempt to create a browser with features that can be tailored to the needs of everyone.
