One of the greatest parts of working at Abstraction is the attitude everyone brings. The people are supportive, friendly, and always challenging each other to go the extra mile. We’re always on the lookout for improvements and don’t settle in our ways ‘because it worked in the past’.

As we are still a relatively small organization, I can really feel the impact of my work. We are continuing to grow across all departments, so I feel a strong responsibility to make sure we bring in the right people to add to our culture. It is an exciting time. We are working on AAA games and building our own IP.

f*ck best practices
That’s right. We said it. F*ck best practices. We advocate a first-principle approach over simply following best practices. Best practices can serve as a starting point, but real innovation demands that we go beyond what's given. Get comfortable with risk-taking and pioneering new paths. We acknowledge that challenges are a part of breaking new ground. What's crucial is the learning and resilience you demonstrate in facing them. If you grow, we grow.
