Vantaggi

Benefits, Gym, open information, work life balance

Svantaggi

Management is too much inside of game development and teams feel they are not doing the games they want but what management feels like just because

Consigli per i dirigenti

Stop looking at the competition as comparison with your own games. Look at competition to evaluate the market potential

Vantaggi

It is an ok working place which provides you different facilities, such as a cantina, a fitness area and playground area.

Svantaggi

Salary not really up to the market standards

Vantaggi

- Solid record of games, some still making revenues after 10+ years - Successful at porting their titles from browser to mobile - Friendly atmosphere, friendly CEOs

Svantaggi

- Hamburg can be quite a depressing city to live in. Not much activities to do, specially for that 1 month in the year where it doesn't rain.

Consigli per i dirigenti

- Management was ok. Quite transparent.

Vantaggi

Working for InnoGames is so relaxed that doesn't even feel like work: * No stress * Not really micro-management * Flexible working hours * Vacation and home office with short notice without approval ... The company offers good benefits: * Relocation assistance for new employees * Regular parties * Free beer * Covering expenses for conferences ...

Svantaggi

The company is more interested in keeping things as they are than improving them. There is no support or appreciation, but a lot of obstacles if you try to get things better. The company culture gets worse as it grows. There isn't any aim to preserve a positive culture other than printing some pictures to the walls. Most people don't care much about the work they do or the company they are working for. The... company is loosing people who can make a difference. There isn't any sign of leadership anywhere. Managers concentrate on the people instead of the work. Nobody is in a position to make any slightly controversial decision. New people are hired to do practically nothing.

Vantaggi

* Relaxed atmosphere, great work/life balance * Lots. Like really lots of parties. Basically every 2 months there is a reason to gather together in a pub/restaurant * Good benefits. 100$ policy - no need in manager's approval to get something for work (headphones, phone case....) * Nice office. Grill on the roof, free beer in the office

Svantaggi

* No-one cares about your skills. Promotions seem rather to be random or time based. Performance review cycle is a joke. You might not get a promotion, because you were "late" couple of times, even though you are doing 3 times more work than people around. This is an IT company. Quality and quantity of work should matter, not that you are 10 minutes late * Very often you hear: "We are a gaming company". You may ask... HR: "Why average salaries here are below market level" or "Can we put developers on-call, so they are responsible for their code" - the answer is the same * Salaries are very below market. To get better salary, you, basically, need to bring an offer from another company * Management does not listen to you. There was a moment when "anonymous feedback" was collected in special boxes in the office. Many people put notes there, but there was no response. When people asked for it management answered: "Most of the notes were about food and drinks, so we do not deem it necessary to respond". * No food in the office

Consigli per i dirigenti

If you want smart people to work for you - appreciate them. Big companies give shares, big salaries, food and other perks to keep their employees even from considering leaving. But you say: "We are a gaming company", which real IT specialist do not care about. We work for impact, for skills, for technologies, not because it is a "Gaming company".

Vantaggi

- In many teams you can really improve your skills. - Perfect location close to one of main train lines going across the city. - The office itself is rather nice and well equipped. - Not much pressure and flexible working time. Unless you have problems finding motivation to work - then it's a con. - There is a gym, a grill and free beer available at the office.

Svantaggi

- If you are unlucky you might end up with one of older products which are not as challenging. - Some colleagues are not very well organised and not willing to improve quality of their work. - Some teams are prone to pointless meetings where time is wasted without any conclusions.

Consigli per i dirigenti

The really good employees don't like to be held back by working with outdated technologies and ancient projects. If you really want the best people you must give them more free hand so that they can turn their passion into work and then into successful products.

Vantaggi

Great studio, great projects behind the scenes. Tons of possibilities to grow, develop and influence. Highly talented people. Great work conditions, free drinks, coffee, food, beer. Company parties and events. Paid trips/conferences etc. If you need a software or hardware they will get it for you quickly and happily. Great work/life balance, you can easily leave and go back home at around 4PM-5PM and relax and enjoy... life. I highly recommend on working for Innogames.

Svantaggi

Hamburg is very cold and there's not much to do there. Very boring city. The city is not the best when it comes to people and social life, there's absolutely no social life there. Not enough information sharing, on a daily basis, people are not open to teach and share their knowledge and it almost feels as if they avoid it which is very negative.
