Best company I've worked for

Senior mobile game developer

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Extremely talented people make up the Playstudios teams. Everyone's opinion counts for something, and takes ownership of their work. The quality bar is high, and like any live software team, it can get stressful. But everyone is supportive and seekers of solutions. The executive team is all friendly, open to chats, and they run the company with a strong moral compass.

Cons

Working on a live mobile app with 300k+ daily active users means the rate of content production expected stays high. If a team member is out, deadlines can get tight.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company works hard to keep the employees happy. During the pandemic they've translated their perks creatively and effectively. The company does a good job with transparency and really truly cares about their employees.

Cons

Defining roles with expectations and criteria to advance could improve, there is room to move up and laterally inside the company its just not clearly represented as to how to achieve that.

Pretty good for what it is

Senior technical artist

Business Outlook

Pros

They generally treat their employees pretty well. Work is not ground breaking, so it’s not very stressful. The team you work with is awesome and everyone who wants to get involved can do so at different stages and with different things so that’s nice.

Cons

Some of the upper management is mediocre at best, I mean they’re decent people but I am not sure they understand how to run a tech company, they run a casino company instead. Lower end when it comes to salary but honestly not bad for the work you do.
