    Good for those looking for internships or a way to break into the game development industry but terrible if you want to be compensated on time for your work.
    The good thingsThe developers and artists I worked with were pleasant to talk to and the work environment was low-pressure.
    The challengesIntermittent salary delays, lack of communication from management about said delays.

    Not a good place for graphic interns
    The good thingsWhen I applied, it was smooth sailing at first since the HRs who handled the initial interviews were interns too and were very kind.
    The challenges• The screen test is so unforgiving, they expect you to design a full blown brand book in 24 hours along with 2 media related outputs. • The full-time HR was late on the final interview, they were also in a rush and it was obvious that they were not interested to get to know the applicant better.

    Artist Intern

    A glimpse at the game industry.
    The good thingsMost of the employees are introverted by nature, and are therefore cut out from the same material as me. I had no trouble making friends with the ones that I got regular contact with. I learned a lot of things observing the dynamics of the local game industry.
    The challengesThere is little to no hand-holding working here as an intern. There is no first day seminar where you get to know which people are higher on the organization. You just have to figure out on the fly. You are immediately expected to perform at the same capacity as that of a regular employee. The hierarchy as to which you go to get your work reviewed is kind of messy too. Some supervisors get precedence when it comes to whose take gets implemented. Since this is my first time working a full-time regular job, the whole thing just felt so abstract to me at times, because I don't see everyone physically. I have also observed that some projects have possibly some unrealistic deadlines, like for example, one of the projects had a 1 month deadline for everything with some degree of polish (when the artists have been drafted to other projects, meaning they have 2 projects on their hands at the same time). That's just my take.

    Best synergy and teamwork
    The good thingsThe team here helps you out when you are having a difficult time, and formalities are used seldomly.
    The challengesas a graphic artist intern, the only obstacle i suffered is becoming a video motion graphics creator even if my role is just as a graphic artist.

    Great work experience
    The good thingsPeople are approachable and willing to help, and as an intern training with a new coding language, I appreciate it so much. I get to learn a new language and gain experience in working as a team in a more professional environment and at the same time still enjoy even if things can get stressful.
    The challengesThe training program I was in was experimental so I understand why things were a bit rocky at the start, but even so, people are helpful throughout my stay as an intern.

    Great experience that comes with so many challenges
    The good thingsI worked as an intern for at least 6 months, under two different positions (3 months each). I was assigned to this big project that helped my skills to improve a lot. Everyone is very friendly and approachable; they will help you when you have difficulty with your work. There are also a lot of fun employee engagements every month that allowed me to have good time and interactions with people outside of the project I worked on.
    The challenges1. There is no training, which was a very difficult challenge as an intern. 2. The amount of work of an intern is the same as regular employee and is expected to have advance skillset. 3. The project timelines are all fast phased, there's barely any time for improvement. Since the timeline is so short, there are times that I do work even on my free time just to meet the deadline. 4. Allowance is very low compared to the amount of work and stress. 5. Adjustments and requests that are out of scope are not being blocked. 6. Very undervalued.

    A Good Place to Learn
    The good thingsPeople there are very kind and considerate towards interns and are willing to lend a hand. I was also able to learn a lot from some of my superiors and improve my skills such as the use of different softwares, time management skills, and being flexible to work in a team.
    The challengesI was given a certain task to do and during the near end of october until the end of my internship, I was never given any feedbacks or comments about my work. Although it’s understandable that there are days where everyone is busy, being given feedback from time to time is still important for any employee because it’s hard to be working in the dark with little to no supervision at all.

    Great Place to Start
    The good things"Everyone's gotta start somewhere, right?" - Xinyan It's a good thing that I started out in Taktyl as an Intern. My supervisors and seniors provided support that I needed to play the role. I've got a hands-on experience of the things happening in the production. Plus, the work culture is great.
    The challengesSometimes work gets too overwhelming and people needs better support. Communication is one of the challenges that needs improvement not just in this company but among any other.

    An internship that you'll never forget!

Most of all, I love that there is no discrimination when it comes to giving tasks to interns. They exposed me to different HR facets, and gave me their complete trust which helped me to gain self-confidence.
    The challengesThere are times that the workload will get too overwhelming.

    Working here is fun and your skills will develop through challenges.
    The good thingsThe people are very nice to work with. Also learned a lot of tech and leaders always make sure you are making progress every day. They also give you some spare time to learn a new tech/stack/language for additional skills on your portfolio.
    The challengesAs of now, the only challenge I'm having a hard time with, is that some of my teammates are working at night - so changes on the project will be later implemented or fixed in the morning.
