Interview With SAMUEL

Q. If you could describe the company in one sentence? (Octopo is ___.)

A. Octopo is a company for Octopians.
At Octopo, there are many advantages you can enjoy—our culture, teammates, and benefits. And these are experiences you can only truly feel here at Octopo.

Q. What’s your ultimate work playlist?

A. Calm game OSTs.
Game music carries unique narratives and worlds. Just listening to it makes me feel like I’m inside that universe, which helps me focus and often sparks new ideas.

Q. What’s a good day to work from home?

A. Thursday.
When I want to focus deeply and wrap up any personal tasks that have piled up, there’s no better environment than working remotely. Everyone may benefit from remote work differently, but for me, it’s also nice to catch up on things like cleaning my room or doing laundry during lunch—things I couldn’t get to earlier in the week. Plus, Thursday comes with the anticipation that after Friday, the weekend is here.

Q. What’s a good day to come into the office?

A. Friday.
Friday wraps up the week, and there’s a small happiness that comes from knowing we can rest the next day. Also, the area around the office is great for evening plans, and it’s well connected by subway and bus lines, making it a perfect day to schedule post-work gatherings.

Q. What kind of person would fit well at Octopo?

A. An octopus who wants to become human (not a joke).
As everyone knows, humans can’t literally be octopuses. But the moment you join Octopo, you become one of us—an octopus. So all you need is the confidence that you, too, can become one, along with a bit of capability. (Of course, this doesn’t mean you actually have to behave like an octopus.)

Q. What makes you most proud to work here?

A. Our pet guests.
Some team members have pets, and when these adorable companions are invited as VIP guests, we can play with them—or even “work” alongside them in the office. We’re also equipped with pet supplies like pads and deodorizing sprays to create a comfortable environment for them.

Q. When did you feel you grew the most after joining?

A. When I solved difficult problems on my own that I struggled with as a newcomer.
Solving challenges independently and achieving results has a positive impact not only on myself but also on the company.

Q. What would you like to say to someone considering applying to Octopo?

A. To those of you still hesitating at this very moment—we’re looking for someone exactly like you!
Because the talent we’re looking for is all of you. Don’t hesitate—apply!

Q. Who helps create a healthy team atmosphere?

A. Every member of Octopo.
Our shared goal is the continuous growth of all team members. And to achieve team growth, it’s important that each person fulfills their role well.

Q. Which emoji do you use most often on Slack?

A. It’s one of the default emojis that’s easy to find in Slack, and it’s versatile—useful for acknowledging messages or expressing positivity.
