- Tinder recently moved back to its old office, which also houses some other Match Group properties.
- Business Insider toured the office on the day after the Tinder Sparks product conference.
Tinder's West Hollywood headquarters was covered in balloons.
I toured the office on a Friday, a day when most Tinder employees don't work in person. It was also the day after the company's product conference, Tinder Sparks. The balloon arches and leftover juice bottles celebrated the occasion.
The office is new to some staff, but it's a homecoming for the company. Tinder was built here at the West Sunset Boulevard location. It then moved across the street, but is now returning to its roots.
Here's a peek inside the Tinder headquarters, filled with snacks, Lego bricks, and beer on tap.
