Our rotations give you hands-on experience across the whole publishing organisation.

Not at all. Some of our graduates have never played a game while others play every day and both bring perspectives that we value. Whether youre an avid gamer or picking up a controller for the first time youll have a point of view to bring to any team you join.

We keep our process short and straightforward because we know applying for jobs is stressful enough. We hire for analytical thinking tested across three areas: quantitative skills qualitative skills and how quickly you pick up something new.
