Best Company to work for in Pakistan

Vegetation artist

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Environment, Flexible Working Hours, Option for Both Remote and On-site Work, Office and Outdoor events and activities

Cons

The Salary is good but not competitive for a Studio that is leading the Gaming industry. Like people would easily get double to quadruple salary offers if they give this many years to freelance services in arts or if they get hired remotely from companies outside Pakistan. Many of our talented colleagues left the company for this reason only. People are staying here because they have not yet find a better offer, which talented artists always get in some time. And also, because Epic games has a good reputation.

Business Outlook

Pros

Innovative and fast-paced environment. Strong brand recognition – being part of a household name in gaming looks great on a résumé. Exposure to talented professionals across creative, technical, and corporate teams. Competitive pay and benefits (if that was your experience). Opportunity to help scale a globally impactful company.

Cons

Fast pace can sometimes feel chaotic; priorities shift often. Limited structure or evolving processes may make it hard to plan long-term. High expectations and workload; work-life balance can be a challenge. Communication silos between teams or leadership (if relevant).
