Pros

Small passionate team, flexible work hours, interesting projects, your feedback is frequently sought out and always considered, management knows what they're doing and keeps everyone well informed. Overall this is just a great place to work.

Cons

The team is spread across two studios (Austin, Texas and Seattle, WA) which occasionally creates some challenges, however we all work hard to overcome them.

Pros

Fully remote, nice benefits, good WLB, good salary, great diversity and inclusion, and an overall fun environment with interesting subject matter. Stoic is full of competent (and reasonable) people who are passionate about building and releasing games. I think this is the best place I've ever worked.

Cons

It's not going to compete with a FAANG-like company for compensation (but it all doesn't come with the stress and politics you deal with at those places).

Pros

I cannot say enough great things about working here! From day one, I felt welcomed and supported by everyone. The studio truly invests in its people, creating a positive, collaborative, and growth-oriented environment. Leadership is transparent, approachable, and genuinely cares about employees' well-being. The emphasis on work-life balance is outstanding. I’m proud to be part of such a forward-thinking, supportive team, and I know I’m in the best possible environment to build my career!

Cons

We are fully remote so it's best if you're comfortable working in isolation most of the time. Communication can be tricky.
