Free Fruit, Full Frustration
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The company offers a modern office with up-to-date equipment, free drinks, and a selection of free food. Flexible hours and no time tracking provide occasional breathing room. Equality is genuinely respected, and age doesn’t affect how you’re treated. Depending on the team, collaboration can be supportive and engaging.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Competition is intense, and career growth often depends on favor from leading roles. Team leads can block requests, planning is inconsistent. Exciting projects are rare and require persistence or favoritism.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Management should step back from creative processes and allow teams to drive innovation independently. Teams should be smaller to improve collaboration and focus. All employees should have equal opportunities to develop their skills and express creativity. Clearer communication from management and more transparent career development and training options would also greatly improve the work environment.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The work atmosphere is competitive, with poor planning leading to periods of overload and downtime, though the experience can vary between teams.

Gameduell has a poor reputation among former employees, as many left due to dissatisfaction, mistreatment, or low pay.
Work-Life-Balance
Work-life balance is 'great', thanks to no time tracking and unpredictable downtimes, as long as you enjoy the chaos.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Career opportunities exist mainly through internal transfers, while training and development options are rarely communicated.
Gehalt/Benefits
Salary and benefits depend heavily on initial negotiation, but there’s little room for significant increases afterward.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
The company provides free parking but does not offer or subsidize a public transport ticket or a company bike (Job-Rad). The income from "for the planet"-offers gets barely donated.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Team cohesion varies greatly, with some teams working well together while others struggle due to competition and lack of trust.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Age doesn’t affect how you’re treated, but long-term employees often dominate the best tasks and engage in gossip, which can be frustrating for others.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Producers and team representatives act mostly as intermediaries between the team and management, often filtering requests or downplaying their urgency rather than fully advocating for the team.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The physical workplace conditions are very good, with a moderate office and up-to-date equipment.
Kommunikation
Communication from management is often unclear and inconsistent, leading to misunderstandings and inefficiencies.
Gleichberechtigung
Equality is well implemented, with no noticeable difference in treatment between men and women.
Interessante Aufgaben
Tasks are rarely engaging or challenging lately, and you often have to fight for exciting work or be in management's favor to get any interesting assignments.
