Pros
- A diverse portfolio of games as a publisher and developer: across genres, platforms, and business models. - An amazing leadership team that is very transparent and genuine which gives opportunities for mentorship and creates a culture of trust with them. - There are enough games in development and in live operation to learn from and to work on. - The CEO has been making sure that PikPok is at the forefront of releasing games on all new platforms and business models in the recent past. - Initiative is rewarded and talent is recognized when it's apparent. - A very diverse and liberal studio team, various social clubs, and a lot of givebacks to the game dev community in New Zealand.
Cons
- Currently, there's a lack of senior and experienced personnel in particular departments and roles (which is a great opportunity for someone with that experience to join.) - Living in Wellington can be expensive. The leadership team is initiating solutions to help make this better already. - The product team leadership structure can be rigid across teams but the skillset differs, sometimes leading to challenges with team dynamics and operations.
