Not so good experience

Recommend

Pros

Learning a lot of new things. Safe workplace, don't have to be afraid you'll be out of a job in the near future

Cons

You aren't a person, you're a support robot. If you want to be treated with basic human decency then Funcom is not the place for you, unfortunately. Managerial expectations do not match workload. Believe me when I say this, you will regret quitting your full time for this job.

Too much freedom

Pros

Freedom to work on your own without someone micromanaging you. I was able to be creative, resourceful and work efficiently

Cons

Too much freedom was also the biggest con because we didn't receive any support from the management and it was tough to work on your own without any training or tools available to help you

Pros

+ Great company culture and values, and a very positive environment to work in. + Many opportunities for growth and management helps you with anything you need to grow. If you need something, it will get done. + Everyone is well treated, respected, professional and the company is very inclusive. Amazing talent all around. + Anyone can freely talk with anyone regardless of their position in the company. + Flexible hours, work from home options and good work/life balance. + Competitive pay and great benefits, constantly adding new benefits that are suggested by employees. + Fantastic projects to be involved with and work on, like Dune, Conan Exiles and others. + Your work gets recognized, appreciated and showcased, helping improve morale and feeling accomplished. + Great environment to work, people get along with each other, there's a feel of joining a family. There's respect between everyone. + Everyone is given a platform to give feedback, suggestions, complaints, anonymously or not, and anything that needs resolving gets resolved. Management does everything to make your life better and resolve any issues you might have. Your voice is heard. + Company has grown significantly in recent years. Just a few years ago there were around 10 total employees, and now over 40, with plans to grow significantly more, with many new opportunities from every range of professions, as you can see in the number of open positions. + Became one of the biggest game development companies in Portugal, and that shows the level of professionalism and quality of everyone involved. + There are often events like game night, where people get together, in person or online, from any team or position, and play board games or console/pc games. People get to know each other better and have fun together. There are also team events where teams can plan activities together.

Cons

From my experience, and conversations with colleagues, I don't have anything negative to say. It has been a great place to work and grow, get to know awesome people and that's the overall feel around the office.
