Houdini Interactive Reviews

I have been in the industry for almost a decade and can say that Houdini Interactive is easily the best firm I've had the pleasure of working at. The structure of the business helps foster a work environment that allows for employees to display their knowledge and expertise while maintaining the space for constructive feedback and direction. Leadership is conscious of deadlines, and have a great feel for work-life balance – to which they encourage employees to adhere to. Employees are heard and acknowledged for their contributions and ideas on a regular basis – a refreshing change working in this industry. The culture is fun, light-hearted, and doesn't take itself too serious all while balancing the sheer amount of commitment, dedication, and attention to detail that each project demands. It's clear that the leadership team have been in the industry long enough to understand how to run a successful firm. They allow the space for personal growth / development and do a fine job of mitigating the drawbacks that come with being a creative such as incessant art direction, unreasonable expectations / deadlines, and lack of respect for the demand of the job. To anyone hoping to join a firm as a developer, engineer, designer, or PM I highly recommend Houdini Interactive. We are young, hungry, and restless for greatness and we hope you are too.

Houdini has had tremendous growth during my time there and the flexibility of management to handle the explosion has been phenomenal. They quickly adapted the team to working remotely during the pandemic, and have made everyone on the team feel valued and appreciated. They also do a great job of hiring the best candidates that they know will work well within the Houdini culture.
