Graduate Profile

"When I started work at Kuju I was pleasantly surprised at how laid back the atmosphere here is. My colleagues are both friendly and helpful, and I am given the opportunity to work on some areas of development that are of a personal interest to me - which is great! The teams are also very sociable, often organising nights out and playing games during lunch times. Everyone here has a passion for games; this means that everyone is willing to work really hard, particularly on the run up to the completion of a game.

In light of this people shouldn't be under the illusion that the industry is all "fun and games"; occasionally we have to work pretty late to meet milestones and such. More often than not the hard work is worth it though. Working at Kuju definitely seems to entail being a "large cog in the wheel" so to speak. My work always forms a substantial portion of the projects I work on; everyone's contributions make a big difference. Feeling like you play an important role makes the work all the more rewarding. There is also a great abundance of talent in all fields here; it's great being able to work with bright people, exchanging ideas and such. Best of all though, we're making games!"
