I have been working at CCP Games full-time for more than 3 years

Pros

- Was made to feel very welcome and at home upon relocating to Iceland/CCP from the UK 3 years ago - Lucky to have a great team of inspiring, talented and good people who have become friends and have shown respect and support for my work/role since day 1 - Have been routinely encouraged to develop and expand my skillset and offered opportunities to do so - My projects (in marketing) have been varied, exciting and often had me quite proud to be a part of - Management has been flexible and respectful, supportive and inspiring in my area - I've had good access to conferences/training - Lots of benefits, including support for Icelandic language classes, sports allowance (which includes esports), educational allowance etc - Have access to whatever tech/equipment I've requested for my role - Family friendly environment, understanding of circumstances and everyday obstacles/challenges of having a family and Iceland's mad weather - The magic of working in games and sci-fi with hugely creative people in my team - and some very talented & inspiring people throughout the company - is still very much present after 3 years - Work/life balance in my role is very favourable - My personal interests in pop culture, gaming, my hobbies etc are valued here and I'm encouraged to take inspiration from my interests, background and experiences to add to my role - Has taken a little while to identify a career progression path in my role, but the desire has always been there from my management, now it's a positive development that I'm looking forward to exploring - Reykjavik is hugely expensive as a city, but wages do tend to reflect that - Excellent value canteen with breakfast and lunch served, snacks and drinks around the office as part of it, plus regular social events - Everyone I work with, teams and individuals, is interested in doing the best job possible and people want to excel - Overall, joining CCP has been the very best professional (and personal) decision I've ever made, no regrets whatsoever!
