To reach our mission of entertaining hundreds of millions of people for decades does not happen by looking for quick wins, or by prioritizing growth at all costs. We want our players to enjoy our games for years to come, which means not only serving our players as well as we can, but also running and growing our business sustainably.

Mobile gaming is constantly changing. It keeps us curious, creative and bold. We don’t just adapt, but lead the change to stay at the forefront in everything we do. We see change as a catalyst that inspires to think bigger, work smarter and grow as a team and as individuals.

Hanna Kontinen
People Development Lead

We believe that the key to creating incredible mobile games is fostering an environment where every employee feels valued, inspired, and empowered. Our success isn't measured only by the games we create, but by the people who make them. We are committed to building a culture where creativity flourishes, people can truly be themselves, and well-being is a priority. We don't just want to be the best at what we do – we want to be the best place to work, period.
