  • Google's Bay View campus in Mountain View, California, suffers from significant Wi-Fi connectivity issues, affecting employees' ability to work efficiently.
  • Despite being designed with cutting-edge technology and environmental sustainability in mind, the campus's unique 'dragonscale' rooftop design is believed to interfere with Wi-Fi signals.

  • Google has acknowledged the problem and is making efforts to improve Wi-Fi connectivity, with fixes expected in the coming weeks.
