Hi-Rez Studios Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Our compensation package goes well beyond just salary. Our benefits are top-notch and ancillary benefits have drastically improved over my time here.

I like my dental insurance.

Review from Engineering Dept

Amazing time off, ability to work from home, and medical coverage

I'm paid at my market rate and new benefits are being added periodically.

Unlimited PTO is amazing ! Also the fact we can work from wherever we want in the US and the UK is surperb.

the encouragement to use our discretionary pto. the sense of being cared about from the benefit of buff bucks + health care options

Review from Product Dept

I think the compensation package is more than fair, and the Buff Bucks are something that all companies should invest in.

Review from Executive Dept

Having the same provider for all the health services GREATLY reduces the pain it is to see a doctor.

Review from Engineering Dept

Well rounded medically and physically

Review from Design Dept

benefits are generally great and competitive

Review from Communications Dept

Unlimited paid time off work

Review from Product Dept

Unlimited PTOs, private health care, gym membership, etc

Review from Marketing Dept

I believe the compensation is fair and based purely on data and merit.

Review from Operations Dept

it's up there with the best in the industry

Review from Design Dept

Salary, unlimited PTO and great health care.

Review from Marketing Dept

We are given unlimited PTO

Review from Product Dept

unlimited pto, benefits, wellness program

Review from HR Dept

When the company does well, we receive very generous profit sharing bonuses!

I get more PTO at Hi-Rez than any company I've worked at in the past, and feel like the company is quick to give bonuses when they're able to.

Review from Product Dept

The free lunches (and other food) and the free gym membership at Lifetime Fitness

Review from Product Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

The amount of work I'm asked to do for the sake of being on a "lean team" is not adequately compensated compared to the market.

georgia is pretty inexpensive compared to the rest of the country. knowing how much someone in LA gets paid for the same work done in GA makes west coast opportunities more lucrative

Review from Design Dept

focus on your fans not your income. greed kills companies.

Review from Marketing Dept

I believe our positions should be paid a little bit more

Review from Customer Support Dept

Its not so much undervalued as more like taking a slight risk joining the company considering getting paid significantly less than my previous 3 workplaces, with tighter schedules and living in a high cost area.

Review from Design Dept

Compared to other game studios my salary is shorted. But, I do have benefits and stable work which gives me a piece of mind.

Review from Design Dept

I feel like gaming industry in general pays less than they should based on the employee's passion for gaming. People want to work for a gaming studio, so they feel they can take less money to do so. I believe Hi-Rez has a tendency to take advantage of that in some situations.

Review from Operations Dept

Having more than a day off for the Winter would be nice. As this is standard at almost every other game company I've worked at.

Review from Design Dept

Compensation is done somewhat oddly. Certain factors are not added towards what an annual pay raise would be, and I believe these factors should be added in while calculating pay raises. It's also not a guarantee that you will receive a pay raise, even if you've done your job well and had no issues.
