| Company Information
|
The Globex Corporation is a company run by Hank Scorpio. Disguised as a friendly and innocent high-tech company, Globex is actually a front for an evil organization that Hank Scorpio uses to take over the East Coast of America.
Headquarters
The headquarters of Globex Corporation is located in Cypress Creek, a company town built to house employees of the Globex Corporation.
The "innocent" part of Globex Corporation shows that the work in Globex is very casual. The headquarters contains a fitness room, and employees are allowed to dress in casual wear. According to Hank Scorpio, Globex Corporation doesn't believe in walls (only windows, as evident in the headquarters). There is also lots of greenery inside the Globex headquarters.
The darker side of Globex Corporation is revealed in the form of a large "doomsday device" located in a large chamber under a mountain, which Hank Scorpio attempts to use to take over the East Coast, which he does. A reference was made to a Weather Control and Bacteriological Warfare division within the Globex Corporation.
The headquarters is powered by its own nuclear generator, once managed by Homer Simpson, who was a temporary employee until his family wanted to leave.
