When I was at Oracle I had a private locking office with a window with a mountain view as an intern.

Amazing. When was that?

2013. They’re still in the same offices though.

They paid for an apartment and car as well!

It’s a great place to be, actually.

How is that possible? Is there just a really high supply of window offices? ie. does the office building have a really high window to floor area ratio?

Thin buildings produce a surprising amount of exterior windows. The last high rise I worked in put most of the common functionality near the core (hallways, bathrooms, elevators, printers) to maximize the amount of work space that had a view.

Sadly it was looking out over the West side of Chicago from the West side of the loop, so the view was mediocre even when the weather played nice.

It makes sense when you realise the building is in the shape of a giant pentagram.

Big server rooms and fabrication labs in the middle, and some support staff in cubicles.
