Ghost Ship Games has enjoyed quite a bit of success, and every member of the team has contributed to that. This is why we, on top of an industry-competitive salary, have created a great bonus scheme.
In addition, we have a solid pension scheme,health- and dental insurance, paid parental leave, six weeks paid vacation, and extra days off e.g. when your kids are sick.
We hire great talent, but first and foremost we hire great people, and we strive to treat those people well.
