Truly Excellent & Refreshing! - Development Manager Maverick Media Employee Review

Maverick is a really special place, it’s full of talent people that genuinely care about each other. Including upper management, which is not the case in every business. People are the best part, but if you love games it’s even more of a pro

None come to mind .

Maverick is a small, friendly agency with big ambitions. It’s a brilliant place to work to gain experience, and career progression is actively encouraged, with opportunities and promotion nearly always being offered internally. People rarely just slot into one department – everyone does a bit of everything and gets a real variety of experience. Compared to other companies I’ve worked for, the rewards given to employees was always really generous - good bonus structure, day to day benefits and lots of team nights out, celebrations, and absolutely great company parties. Finally, the employees are a great bunch of people – when you work there, and even after you’ve left, you’re part of the Maverick family.

Only working across video games, it helps to have a natural interest in this area or you’ll have to work a lot harder to be able to talk about it easily and with competence. If you hate video games, it’s probably not the place for you. It also means the work available is limited, especially as it's quite a competitive marketplace now. As with most creative companies, late nights are regular and work/life balance can be hard.
