It’s no secret that company culture can make or break an otherwise incredible professional opportunity. Although corporate values and team leadership are obviously crucial, culture is often personified in large part by physical space in which employees spend their 9-to-5. Experts agree that office design really does matter. As the world changes and companies scramble to keep up with an increasingly mobile, independent, and tech-savvy workforce, those at the edge are boldly going where no cubicle has gone before. Here are 5 companies in Denver and Boulder who are leading the pack in terms of innovation, creativity, and all-around style.

Their Colorado office is based in the heart of Boulder, right in the middle of Pear Street mall.
