    Former Employee - 2D Artist 

    I worked at Miniclip full-time

    Pros

    Solid company, lot of benefits (annual bonus, free drinks, fruits and snacks...) and care of the employee's well-being.

    Cons

    If you are an artist who want to be "free" in your work, maybe that's not the right place for you. I mean, you could grow up and reach highgoals, but you won't go above a certain level.

    Thank you for taking the time to write us a review, we really appreciate it. All feedback is welcome as we are always keen to explore areas where Miniclip can improve but also continue doing what we do best! Delighted to hear that you had a positive experience working at Miniclip and that you found many benefits working here. As you have mentioned, making sure that employees feel at home with free snacks, fruit and drinks is an important part of the Work Hard Play Harder ethos that we have here. The opportunity to share in company success, and employee well-being are also very much at the heart of the employee experience that we are aiming to deliver. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on career progression and I am sorry to hear that you felt that there were limitations. We have recently launched a new career framework which allows employees to clearly see different career paths they can follow whether that is to progress within their area of professional expertise and interest, or perhaps into a leadership role, and we really hope that this coupled with our ongoing investment in learning and development will ensure that everyone working at Miniclip can achieve their full potential. Thank you very much once again for your review and helpful comments!

    I have been working at Miniclip full-time for less than a year

    Pros

    The environment is positive and the team has a strong bond, the work load is manageable and the pay isn't bad

    Cons

    The job is repetitive, the tasks are always the same and the deadlines force everyone to rework the same stuff over and over. There's also very little space for improvement and personal development as of today

    I have been working at Miniclip full-time for more than a year

    Pros

    It is a very stable job, almost everyone that leaves the company, leaves by themselves. You have the opportunity to work on popular web and mobile games with awesome professionals. It is an amazing place to learn.

    Cons

    If you want to grow in the industry, Miniclip might get short for you, even in the mobile games industry. There are some processes in the company workflow that complicate things too much. Although it is a games company, you don't feel that all the time.

    I have been working at Miniclip full-time for more than a year

    Pros

    - Awesome work environment with great co-workers; - Plenty of opportunities to grow professionally, hard and soft skills alike; - Challenging work with high reward; - Opinions are valued and acted upon; - Ease of communication no matter what position you have; - Emphasis on work/life balance; - Awesome location to work as it is not in the middle of a city; - Company is successful in what it does; The list could go on and on but, personally, the most important pro is that the company is united and does it's best for everyone to strive and be better every day!

    Cons

    - Slow kick-off of new projects, Miniclip is working really hard on this but it has a long way to go still. Like every company there is space for improvement and the cons, in my opinion, are outweighed by the pros.

    Thank you so much for reviewing Miniclip! We are delighted to read that you are finding Miniclip a great place to work and thank you for calling out all of the “Pros” in working here. We are proud of all the progress we have been making, but of course, we are always looking for improvement. As you mentioned, we fully appreciate how important having clarity about Career Development opportunities is to our employees – as a result of the feedback given by Miniclippers on the 2018 Engagement Survey it is one of our top priorities for action this year, and we look forward to sharing more about this important project over the next few months. We are concerned to hear that you feel we have some “Unsatisfied/ toxic” people within the company – our view is that everyone is entitled to their views we would just ask that they share them with us directly so that we can try and address the issues they are concerned about so please do feel free to encourage people with concerns or complaints to talk to their Manager or the P&O team. Thank you once again for taking the time to review us and please feel free to share your ideas and suggestions with your manager or someone in the P&O team – we would be really pleased to receive them.

    Thank you for taking the time to review our company on Glassdoor although, of course, we are extremely disappointed to hear that you feel this way. We fully recognise that, as an organisation, we are a “work in progress” and still have a lot to do and are working hard to improve things all of the time – it was good to see that there at least a couple of things which you feel we are doing well. The recent engagement survey, in which 95% of employees participated, highlighted some particular areas to focus on – Innovation, Leadership, and Career Development are all areas that were called out for attention and work are already underway on these topics. In the meantime, we will continue to run events like Hackathon to provide an opportunity for everyone to contribute ideas, and will also continue to invest heavily in the development of Managers and employees across the business. We would be delighted to hear your personal suggestions and ideas for how we can improve so please do share them directly with your manager, your Exec team member, or someone from the P&O team.

    I worked at Miniclip full-time for less than a year

    Pros

    - Central London location - Great name for your CV - Amazing people to work with - Ok benefits - Free beverages and snacks, which is always appreciated - One Miniclip events, where the 3 offices gather in a city and have team building activities (best perk of the company by a lot!)

    Cons

    Unfortunately, Miniclip offers a way below average salary compared to other London tech companies. Also, culture is not great - it is a company that proud itself of its culture, but they don't really have a vibrant, dynamic culture as most of the gaming industry ones. Management is poor. There is no transparency and they are not coherent with their words - while they revel on the company's amazing revenue, they offer little to none salary reviews during the year. There is one, but it barely covers the yearly inflation of the UK, which is unacceptable for such a successful company in term of revenue.

    Thank you so much for reviewing our company on Glassdoor. Feedback is always appreciated at Miniclip. We are delighted to read that you enjoyed working with the team and some of the things we do to try and make Miniclip a really great place to work-, especially our One Miniclip Event. Those events are one of the ways that we try to bring to life our “Work Hard – Play Harder” ethos and help us to show how much we value and appreciate the contribution of our employees. Of course, we are always looking for improvements. We are acutely aware of the importance of salary competitiveness, and that’s why we regularly look closely at independent market data for salaries for all of our roles and try to ensure that we pay competitively. Additionally, we have been working hard to find ways to share our success with people, and we know from our benchmarking that our bonus scheme is competitive in comparison to the market. We know that there are always ways in which we can improve life at Miniclip and have just run our second Engagement Survey to really understand what the team value and feel we do well and what we could do better. Like last year, we will be sharing the results with the company and then setting about taking action to try to continuously improve. Thank you once again for your input and suggestions. We wish you the best of luck in your career!
