First job where I look forward to going to work - Community Manager Stardock Systems Employee Review

- benefits and culture - opportunity to contribute and make an impact - good people - compensation

nothing really to complain about

The games side Stardock is staffed by some truly underpraised talent and experience. The team is welcoming and passionate about their work. The company focuses on developing people, wanting to foster talent and develop it which can be a rarity in the games industry. It has a nice location near multiple larger cities, smaller suburban towns, and not far from the middle of nowhere if you prefer nature. The company pushes for healthy work-life balances, avoiding crunch and ensuring employees utilize their time off along with multiple week-long holiday breaks and the occasional company outing that keeps any part of the year from becoming monotonous.

Things can move quickly at Stardock. There's a strong preference to iterate and get something good then get it great the first time. There are moments where a bit more planning could be helpful but if you can handle the occasionally hectic day with a sudden deadline it's nothing unmanageable.
