Good benefits and no crunch, but frequent layoffs - Anonymous employee Wooga Employee Review

Wooga has so earned the Leading Employer award. This puts Wooga among the top 1% of employers in Germany. To all employers out there, take Wooga as an example. Appreciation of employees is so important. Wooga cares about its employees and is hands-on and proactive. I am very happy here at Wooga. Great benefits, very good work environment, great people and really good management staff too. I have the honor to work with the best team ever! Everyone is very supportive and caring. We not only work very well together, but also really well for each other.

There's just always something to eat at Wooga. Fortunately, USC is supported by Wooga, so you have a chance to work off the calories.

Wooga has work life balance down, which is unusual for a game company. Deadlines will generally be moved before crazy crunch hours are expected. Plenty of vacation days and when you are on vacation no one expects you to be working at the same time. Friendly employees from all around the world. Big enough to be stable, but small enough for good communication, transparency, and minimal bureaucracy.

Pay wasn't great as an intern, $800 euros per month. While Wooga is very diverse with regards to country of origin, like many tech companies there is still some lack of diversity when it comes to women, people of color, etc. It isn't a hostile environment by any stretch, but for a company that makes games with women included in their target audiences, there are surprisingly few female programmers and game designers.
