      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Great office location (right in the centre of Wilmslow) - Competitive & flexible working hours, especially for the video game industry - Friendly, casual atmosphere - I got to work with some truly talented, creative, intelligent, likeable, idiosyncratic people - Challenging work...

      Cons

      - ...but only because things were allowed to spiral out-of-control so often - Reactive & impatient Senior Management - Chaotic and rushed project management, leading to a lot of unnecessary (and unpaid) overtime - Poor coordination and communication between teams - Remarkable short-sightedness demonstrated in the architecture of important systems - Poorly maintained and inefficient development pipeline, creating far more work than needed - Very poor coding standards - Over-reliance on "key" individuals

      Pros

      This is my first job in the gaming industry, but I can safely say that it's been a stellar first impression. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly, there isn't a bad word I can say about anyone (which is a miracle compared to my previous jobs) While a fun and somewhat casual industry it is still very much professional and well managed, the team really care for one another and management always acknowledge when we've all made tremendous progress. You cant go wrong with free drinks, snacks, fruit and the team social outings are some of the craziest and most enjoyable I've ever been on. Playdemic take great pride in keeping their employees happy, as without a happy and motivated employees they lose their work power and they understand that (something that other industries and big names could really take note of)

      Cons

      If I'm honest, I really don't have any cons. Working here is bringing me out of a long term depression caused by awful previous employers. If you're looking for somewhere to progress with, Playdemic is your company for that.

      Great place to test your skills. Sporadic occasions of fun & generosity mixed with crunch and hard graft.

      A range of interesting technologies to work with. Some awesome IP. Highly inspiring genius level colleagues. Bi-monthly Social occasions in the Manchester area. No shortage of free snacks. Ambitious projects that push the boundaries. Ship it days!

      Cons

      Peer reviewed bonuses aka the popularity contest. Disconnection between management and staff. Different rules for different staff members. Lack of parking is a pain!
