Pros
Work-life balance and a fun team culture are given the attentions they deserve. Even though the company is Remote First, management places a lot of importance on the quarterly retreats and understands that having face-to-face time to bond with your teammates is critical.
Cons
There are a lot of fun, creative people here, but limiting the studio to only mobile games is wasting potential. I know switching to PC or console isn’t exactly simple, but there doesn’t seem to be much hustle in moving away from the cutthroat mobile market.
PerBlue Response7moThank you for your review. We are so glad to hear that you felt our focus on work-life balance, team fun and togetherness while you worked here! We too find so much importance in bonding face-to-face, so that our virtual work environments can feel more cohesive. We appreciate your advice about breaking into new markets. One of our core values as a company is to grow and as a small gaming studio, PerBlue is always trying to learn and expand our reach. While Free to Play games are where we are rooted, we’ll continue to consider new ideas and areas to explore. Wishing you all the best. Amanda
