where do you work?

i feel conflicted when i think about the state of employment here in sf. the new companies coming in are super cool and exciting.
i have now been to two modern offices - twitter and square. they have so many amenities from coffee bars with barristers to restaurant level cafeterias, to gyms and pools. the work spaces are unique and fun. but in the back of my head i think that the owners are trying to create  an environment that the employees don't go home. i must admit though that i am probably jaded because i work for myself. i like the idea of having 100 percent control of my product. the thought of working for a large company where there are many hands involved with several other hands on the same project - and sometimes that can be as simple as just sending out an email is just not in my thought process. sure it would be fun to take a break from work and be able to walk down the hall to the cereal bar or get a cup of brewed coffee but for me that is all smoke and mirrors. instead i want a strong hand in what the actual work is that is being done.
thankfully, i have super talented friends that are most likely going to be employed at one of the hipster companies and i can benefit vicariously through them.
