People awesomeness over 9,000!
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The most fun, diverse, international and welcoming people ever.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The salary and the lack of opportunities for personal growth.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Value your employees and let them grow.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Whether you like to listen to music with headphones or jiggle with the people around you, you're free to work in the atmosphere you prefer.
Kommunikation
Cross-team communication is as good as you make it. People enjoy a good collaboration and leads are very people-driven.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Here, colleagues are not only the people you work with but also the people that you end up becoming friends with. I left almost a year and a half ago and the friends I made there are still the ones I hang out with nowadays.
Work-Life-Balance
Very good, flexi-time is definitely a big plus here. Crunch time might be offered very occasionally -once or twice a year- to support other teams but is always on a volunteer basis and compensated somehow.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Leads are very human people that respect you and treat you as a team member. "How are you feeling?" and "Is there something more I can do for you?" are questions you'll hear quite often in feedback talks.
Interessante Aufgaben
Sadly you are limited to your team's borders, but time to work on a specific project (helping another team, making a tool for yours...) is granted when requested once you have earned trust.
Gleichberechtigung
"Discrimination" is not part of the GGS vocabulary. You can come as you are and you will integrate there faster than anywhere else thanks to their open-minded and international community.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
People there are quite young -as is common in the gaming industry- but you will never see anyone be excluded because of age or any other difference.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Working conditions are good but can't be altered unless you have a medical condition. That means you will have very good equipment but also exactly the same as everyone else in your team.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Everyone is quite eco-conscious without it being a corporate priority.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
You get the usual benefits (free fruits/coffee, team/corporate events, flexi-time...) but sadly this is undertoned by a salary lower compared to the industry standards. Definitely perfect for a first job but you won't climb the ladder quickly there.
Image
As anywhere you will find people that keep complaining about small details. The company image was definitely affected by the events of 2016/2017 but a good 95% of what came out in the media was not accurate.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Except if you are extremely lucky, chances to get to a higher or different position are quite low. However you will gain "seniority" and move through different responsibility and salary levels for the same position.
