Highly recommended - Anonymous employee Playdead. Employee Review

• Cutting edge tech and full support for such at all levels • Games that are treated as art, not as a mere product. The company is run by a creative, not a horde of cynical marketing/business types. • Exciting creative atmosphere. Feeling of working on something truly special. • Friendly, collaborative energy within the art team and between departments • Ridiculously high level kitchen serving breakfast, lunch and weekly dessert surprises. Ri-di-cu-lous... • Some hybrid work possible. Management very generous with negotiating special arrangements for people who request it. • All manner of perks and help provided, from free financial advisors to physio to self-improvement events (courses, conferences and the like) • No overtime ...not even the wink-wink 'it's up to YOU' type

• Projects last 8+ years, requiring epic levels of psychological endurance and limiting 'upward mobility' for those seeking leadership roles (this in itself does not however limit salary) • Upper management distant and lacking transparency. As the company grows, the under-communication becomes more of an issue • Art and gameplay style are hard to grasp and bar is very high, which creates its own kind of pressure

Playdead makes some of the very best games. if it's important to you to work on the good stuff, that is a plus best colleagues. both in skill and socially. Fair compensation Copenhagen is a great city to live in and Playdead office location is very commute friendly, especially from Malmö, Sweden. Best communal lunch in the business.

Not for everyone. some combination of self-motivation, courage, very high skill required in most positions. Highly male, but that is a sector-wide problem Playdead can hardly solve - for now if you want to make games, that's how it is.
