Bohemia Interactive Simulations reviews

I've been with the company since it was a small startup, and helped it grow to 300+ employees. This remains a place where anyone with passion can "get a shot", and where you can forge your own destiny as an employee. We have tough hiring process but we don't care who you are or where you come from. Most of our development team comes to this as their "first job". When they leave, the skills built here let them get jobs they never would have gotten otherwise. Working here forces you to become a MASTER of your craft. To succeed, our staff and teams need to operate EXTREMELY effectively. This does end up burning out some people and others leaving (or being forced out) with a bitter taste in their mouth. However, I've heard from hiring managers at the companies who poach our employees that "BISim makes the best employees, better than anywhere else we can hire from!" Our business model is challenging and is one of the main sources of employee frustration. We bid on hundreds of customer contracts per year, and so it's a bit unpredictable exactly how many of those will actually get signed, and when. This makes project & release scheduling much more complicated than "we're going to work all year on one game, and release it in December". Having been to many game conferences I can say that our development process isn't perfect, but it is MUCH better than the average game studio. Our pay used to be relatively low, however I can confidently say that for years now we've been meeting or exceeding average market rates in most locations and positions. You definitely would get MORE working in banking or big tech... But you would usually would get LESS working in games or at a smaller tech company.

None none and none
