Multiply's posts with tag: office
 Just a month-and-a-half ago, we let you in on a little office fun, with unpacking photos of our latest shipment of the stuff that pretty much fuels Multiply: Pocky! In case you were curious (yep, we're still getting comments and messages about the stuff!), at the right is what's currently left of the 116 boxes that were ordered. A quick count reveals that the supply has been winnowed down to 40 boxes since our post on June 1st – wow! How are your Pocky = 0 date predictions looking now?
|  |  We'll let you in on a secret -- while Multiply's servers may run on electricity, some of the people behind it actually run on a delectable Japanese confection best known as Pocky.
After a few Multiply employees discovered this delicacy at a local Asian restaurant and found themselves so positively hooked, they decided that they could probably get a better deal buying in bulk. Scouring the wide Internets, they came across a website offering a much better deal, and placed a rather large order.
 On April 4th, the order arrived at our offices, to great amusement; none here had ever seen such a large amount of Pocky in one place. Naturally, predictions were made as to when the trio would finish every last box -- not a trivial task either, with the order weighing in at 112 boxes (give or take a few).
Well, the last box was finally consumed yesterday, folks. Fortunately, the next order had already been placed well in advance and arrived today! One could only imagine what may have happened if these sysadmins and developers had to go a day without Pocky!
A new shipment means that it's time for a new round of predictions... and this time, you can get yours on the board! We invite you to leave a comment on this post with the date when you think the three will finish the final box of this shipment.
If you feel that you need more details to make an educated prediction, we can tell you that the number of boxes in the order (116) is more or less equal to last time. The main difference in this shipment is that approximately half of the boxes ordered are the standard chocolate variety, while the rest is made up of various other flavors, such as "Mousse Berry," "Almond Crush" and ever-mysterious "Men's Pocky." Last time, chocolate made up the bulk of the order with a small assortment of other flavors along for the ride. What effect do you think the increased variety will have on their rate of consumption?
If you're interested in seeing just what 116 boxes of Pocky -- and a few of us -- look like... look no further than below, for photos from the unpacking!

Do you want to work for Multiply? Alright, then. How does this sound?
- You're quite Internet savvy.
Familiarity with Multiply, and other lesser social networking sites, is a major plus.

Seriously. There will be a test.
- You know what HTML is, and you understand the basics.
Other technical knowledge is a plus, as well.
- You're detail-oriented.
Always a plus.
(This is an entry-level position.)
 If all of the above describe you, and you live near, are willing to move to, or don't mind commuting* to our Boca Raton, Florida office, you're perfect for the job! Drop us a line at multiplyjobs@multiply.com and let us know who you are and what you're about. (Attaching a résumé would also be a very good idea.)
Oh, and by the way, this will likely be your desk. Isn't it great? It's right next to mine.
We'll be neighbors!
* Oh, have I got a funny story for you.
It took about a week - after it became
obvious that our old office was down for the count - but we found a new
place, just a few miles from the old one (check out the picture). Now
that we're all moved in, things are slowly getting back to normal...
finally.
We want to thank everyone for being so
patient with us during this hurricane madness and, of course, for all
the kind words. Thanks!
Oh, and one more thing... we'll have a
new release out pretty soon, featuring a nice make-over of the Welcome
page. We'll post the announcement here when it's ready.
