Pros
Pixelberry is a place where what you put into your work can reward you with how much you get back. As a result, you can grow tremendously and be given a lot of amazing opportunities that can make for exciting, challenging, and rewarding work if you put in the effort. The people I got work work with were some of the smartest, most talented, and kindest people I’ve ever met. From the day I joined, the team not only welcomed me but actively encouraged and supported my voice throughout. Probably the studio’s biggest pro is that it truly values you as a human being and that’s reflected in the treatment you get from the CEO, the managers, and most of your peers. And as a wonderful plus, it was amazing to work in a gaming environment where over half the employees are women. The culture here is extremely open and accepting with lots of fun game hangouts in between.
Cons
- Similar to startup-culture, the folks that put in more effort tend to bear a much larger burden which can lead to burning out. However, the studio has already been working on measures to help mitigate this. - Pixelberry is a wonderful place to learn and grow very rapidly. However, the trajectory for growth after a couple of years can be unclear. Depending on your team, you may find that the environment can become too ‘cushy’, which isn't necessarily a bad thing depending on what your professional goals are.
