The fifth annual Best Places To Work Awards for the UK were handed out yesterday, and in doing so, it gave a pretty good insight into the top games companies in the country when it comes to working conditions and employee satisfaction.
Decided by both an employee survey and also information from each company itself, the recipients for the awards (of which over 90 companies were eligible) are as follows:
Small Company:
Dlala
Failbetter Games
Indigo Pearl
Kepler Interactive
Ripstone
SockMonkey Studios
TrailMix
Talewind
Mid-Sized Company:
Criterion
D3T
Hutch
PlayStation Studios
Red Kite Games
Space Ape Games
Large Company:
Creative Assembly
NaturalMotion
Rare
It should be noted that if a games company didn't make the cut, it doesn't make it a bad place to work, as GamesIndustry.biz did also state that of the companies that participated, 93% of employed staff would recommend working there.
There were also awards handed out for diversity, health and wellbeing, education and more, of which Rare, Creative Assembly, and Rocksteady all took home awards.
