Values

When we set out to make great games with massive online communities, we knew that we first had to create the ideal environment for building ambitious things. A place where brilliant and inspiring people could come together and build games that make millions of players happy. We realized that we needed to find incredibly talented people and get out of their way. Since then we've paid careful attention to how we like to work together. This is a brief summary of our guiding principles.

How We Get Work Done

Curiosity is a Superpower

The drive to improve always begins with curiosity. We question everything and seek to understand how things work so we can reimagine and remake them even better.

Make Something People Want

We aim to make commercially successful games. That means looking beyond our own preferences to understand what players actually want through research, observation, and listening.

Determined to Achieve Ambitious Goals

We set ambitious goals, and find realistic ways to reach them. We write the big goals in pen and the small goals in pencil, revising our plan over and over as we move forward. We don’t wait for perfect resources or perfect timing, we get things done and we’re proud of what we achieve.

Think, Act, Measure - Then Repeat

We think before we act. We take action without waiting for perfection. And we always measure the impact. Then we do it again and again, getting better every time.

How We Work Together

Be Kind, Show That You Care and Challenge Directly

Everything that makes ATA good starts from a culture of kindness. Kindness means that you treat everyone with respect and demonstrate that you care about their feelings. You challenge people directly and respectfully because you care about them.

Aligned to Growth

Our growth mindset fuels us, but our shared direction keeps us moving as one. We thrive in an environment where we can disagree and commit. We hold each other accountable for always improving results. Once a plan is in motion, we get aligned and stay accountable for the results.

Over Communicate

As a remote company, we thrive on clear, written communication. Documentation is everything: we write things down, share often, and ask questions to keep everyone aligned and informed.

Play

Play fuels creativity, and it’s part of our job! Whether it’s playing games or another creative exploration, we know healthy minds do their best work when given time to recharge and have fun.

Company monthly update meetings, team social connection moments,, quarterly in-person regional meet-ups, annual company summit (we fly remote folks to Vancouver).

We’re proudly recognized by the following organizations:

Hiring Process

We aim to hire people who share our values, believe in building communities and can add to our culture. We understand that there's no such thing as a perfect interview process; however, the team's decision to hire must be unanimous. The strongest teams are formed when people get to choose who they work with.

What to expect when you apply

Review
Our People Team reviews every application that comes in for an open role. We aim to get back to all candidates whether or not we move forward. Rest assured your application has not gone into the abyss.
Screen
If we think you may be a great addition to the team we’ll invite you for a phone screen. We want to get to know you better, tell you more about the role you are applying for and answer any questions you have. It’s a conversation and a pretty fun one at that.
Task
Depending on the role, the next step is either a technical screen or a take-home assignment. This is a great way to test the skills you can bring to the role in a different way than we can test for in an interview. Don’t be surprised if you really like this step; in fact, that’s a good sign.
Interview
The final step is a set of deeper interviews with a few different team members over video calls. We ask a range of questions about your technical skills, your values and how you work with teams and managers. You’ll get to meet some of the people that you could be working with, and have a chance to ask them questions. Let's be honest: we know that you are interviewing us as much as we are interviewing you.
Decision
We respect your time and appreciate your investment in our process and always aim to make decisions quickly. We’ll let you know if we’d like to make you an offer as soon as we can.
