[Build Backlinks Online] Introducing the New MozPlex

Build Backlinks Online has posted a new item, 'Introducing the New MozPlex'

Posted by MeganSingley
While 2014 has just begun, it's already been filled with new and exciting
changes for Moz. Not only do we have a new CEO, but all of us Mozzers have
packed up and moved to a much bigger office that we all actually fit into.
Remember when we moved into our last office and we had all that space? Well,
that didn't last long (about three years).


We didn't move very far, just a few blocks south on 2nd Avenue in downtown
Seattle. We're excited that we only had to walk a couple blocks to watch the
Seahawks victory parade!






Today is a super-special day because you've all won a golden ticket for a peek
into Roger's new home. Unfortunately, there won't be any songs, dances, or
little orange men with green hair, but we do always have tons of chocolate. :-)


So let's get this show on the road!


When you step off the elevator onto the 5th floor, you're greeted by our
lovely Team Happy in this reception area. Oooooh, pretty. It looks like the
future!




Once you answer me these questions three, the rest of the office you shall
see! (We'll actually just let you go in.) One of the main focal points of the
MozPlex is the stairwell. Who knew stairs could be so cool? It's made out of
torched fir and hemlock, because why have regular fir when it can be torched?




We even have an exposed brick wall becauseâlet's be honestâwhat
kind of a tech company in Seattle would we be without an exposed brick wall?




Look left before descending the stairs and you'll find a huge room of Mozzers
hard at work. You'll notice we have desks that can transform to a standing
position with the push of a button. Just can't sit anymore? Go ahead and stand
up! Tired of standing? Take a seat. Want something in between? Crouch away! The
opportunities are (kind of, but not really) endless.




Head right, and you'll enter our brand new kitchen! This is definitely one of
the things the Mozzers were most excited for. If you ever stopped by the old
MozPlex, you'd have noticed that our kitchen was teeny-tiny for the amount of
people we had. Lunch started to look like a coordinated dance to get to the
refrigerator, use the microwave, or grab a fork. Not anymore! We just might have
to move all the tables one day and have a roller-skating party.




Keep heading through the kitchen and you'll see our stage, which will be home
to family meetings (a.k.a. all-staff meetings), lunch-and-learns (last week we
learned about commuting to work by bike!), industry meetups, and most definitely
lots and lots of karaoke.




Walk past the stage, and you'll find a ping pong table (also a Seattle tech
company requirement). Check out Ryan's mean backhand!




Lastly, we now have conference rooms galore! Gone are the days of searching
high and low for an available room for 1-on-1s. We now have a whopping 45 rooms
to choose from, with names like Millennium Falcon, Serenity, and Galactica for
our spaceship-themed 5th-floor rooms, and R2-D2, Johnny 5, and Bender for our
robot-themed 4th-floor rooms. Of course, we have one room named after Roger.
Each of these rooms has a schedule controlled by a tablet outside the door, so
we can always tell if a space is available.




Well, that concludes this virtual tour of the MozPlex. Before we go, we want
to give a huge thanks to our office manager, Hillari, for working tirelessly to
make this a fantastic office. We also want to thank Jess, Mikayla, Danie,
Nicelle, Crystal, Erin, Roxana, Anne, Susan, Dave K., David J, Jacob, Elijah,
and Derric for helping to get everything set up and looking awesome from day
one. You all are the bee's knees!


If you're interested in a real-life visit to our office, we'll have tours
during SMX Advanced and MozCon. We'll post sign-ups for tours as we get closer
to these events. We'd love to see you. :-)
