A. Octopo is a company where both the people and the working environment are comfortable, allowing you to focus on delivering great results.

A. I love working from home when the weather is bad.
In winter, on extremely cold or snowy days.
In summer, on very hot or rainy days — it makes the day much less exhausting!!

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

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

When I get stuck on a task, receiving feedback from teammates feels like scratching exactly where it itches — it’s incredibly refreshing.

The dogs that visit the office are just so adorable.

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

A. During the process of creating effects and exchanging feedback.
I felt I had grown when I started noticing details on my own that I couldn’t see before.

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

A. If you want to level up your skills in casual stylized VFX, this is the best company for you.
Feedback is very active, so teammates carefully point out details you might miss on your own. By seeing others’ work, you also develop a stronger overall artistic eye.

Q. Who helps create a healthy team atmosphere?

A. Rather than one specific person, I believe everyone on the team contributes to building a healthy team atmosphere together.
Since we’re around a similar age, it’s really fun to share the latest memes and common interests.

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