Great Focus on Employee Wellness and Community - Full Stack Developer PLAYSTUDIOS Employee Review

The company is very sincere in their efforts to focus on employee health. Since the pandemic, there have been several randomly selected mental health days off given to the entire company. In addition, there are constant amusements, such as magic shows, Bingo happy hours, and meditation presentations. At one point, the company asked employees to submit presentations seeking donations for their favorite charities. In true showman fashion, the CEO revealed that every single request was approved. You get the impression that if the CEO wasn't in his line of work, he'd be an entertainer himself. The management also gives many opportunities for feedback to make sure they are aware of the issues that everyone in the company is having. This includes a yearly retreat where members of every department in every studio are put together to air their grievances and work on actionable solutions. The way the teams are built, often require work out of your area of expertise (for some, this might be a negative. However, I enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about different aspects related to my work, and the company will also pay for training requests or classes that are required for the work that is needed). Company corners and quarterly planning sessions allow you to see the big picture so you are connected to the entire plan and goal, rather than just working on a bit that you don't understand. On top of that, they really just did an amazing job of putting together some great people. I really admire and get along with every single person there. Insurance is great and salary is high for the industry standard.
