ENVIRONMENT
Being comfortable at work is top priority at AGENIUS Interactive. Focusing on work environment is important in order to cultivate creative energy. We don't like to call our workplace the "office", or not even a "workplace". We like to call it our second home.

As a result, the space we chose is very open, fostering a free exchange of ideas, discussions and brainstorming.

OPEN FRIDAYS
Every Friday we set aside a few hours to empty our minds and refill with new creative inspiration. This can be a team session or workshop about drawing, painting, sculpting, animation, photography, video, design, acting or even music. Or it can be looking into a movie, comic, book, magazine, artwork or other cultural or social elements that we just find cool to share with each other.

PERKS & OUTINGS
Our staff invests a lot of passion and energy into our projects and we reward this by re-investing in our employees through perks in and out of the office.

Regular company trips help bond the team together, and it includes annual weekend trips, parties and social outings like movie nights, shows, poker nights, game tournaments etc. The idea is to foster an environment in which the employees can pursue a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle.

SELF-DEVELOPMENT
"From new input comes new output". This is the core idea for innovative thinking at AGENIUS. We build our entire business on innovation and creativity, and individuals with an open and hungry mind will fit well with our group.
