Moogo office in 2009

Thursday 12/31/09 time 7:48 AM - Helena @Moogo

As our office is naturally the central point for all of us to make Moogo happen and have fun along the way, we have put together a collection of some of the nicest, funniest and perhaps also a bit ackward memories from the office.

Recruitment is where it all starts

As already mentioned, we have grown in number of employees quite a lot this year. At some point there was a new person starting his/her work every week! Also, as the average age in the company is extremely low then for many of us it has been (one of the) first real work places.

Many people in the office mentioned that their first experience with the office was very memorable because of the recruitment process and the first day at work. As in the first half of the year the foosball table was the central part of our office entertainment, then most of the potential employees were asked about their foosball playing skills.

On the first day at work for the Moogo community managers team, we were expanding our office and got started by covering a wall with blue paint. Now the blue  wall is the first thing you would see when stepping in to our office.

 

Office entertainment

It happens once in a while that somebody in the Moogo office comes up with a new cool thing to do or some new things to purchase for the office. Our recent entertainment centre is pool table that has got its place next  to the foosball table. Additionally one room is being decorated to be an innovation room - a place where people can brainstorm and have relaxed atmosphere for coming up with new great ideas.

Recently one of the employees reinvented Text TV and now our TVs around the office show all the important information (including foosball tournament scores) all day long. Ahhh... isn't it good to get back to the roots?

We do lots of hard work here...

...but we also have lots of fun! Having a trip together to visit our partners in another country, Christmas party on a tram, after-parties in the office - it's all part of Moogo people's lives. Also our CEO Mikko misses us so much when he travels somewhere that sends us lovely postcards (unfortunately we can't publish them here, as contain unappropriate visual material for children).

And sometimes we just use our creativity for coming up with all sorts of... weird things. There are never too many markers and glass walls in this office!

Getting famous visitors

Once in a while we want to look very good and important, as we get some popular visitors. The famous story is about the local Big Brother girls coming to the office. As we were helping them to make their own website, the office crew held a fossball tournament to decide who can be the one explaining the process. Conveniently, our CEO Mikko won the tournament.

And while having all those funny memories from the office, we've been happy to be able to bring Moogo's service to everybody out there. We hope you have had as much fun with Moogo as we have.

Thank you for a great year and happy new year!
