Living in New York City

Is there any city in the world quite as great as New York? Many cities may lay claim to the title of “World’s Greatest City” but only New York is mentioned time and time again as one of the greatest cities in which to live, work and play. From world class restaurants, shopping and theater to astonishing museums, galleries, monuments and Central Park, New York offers an infinite array of things to see, explore and experience.

The New York studio is located in the heart of the very trendy SoHo district in Manhattan, close to some of the best restaurants, bars, shops and nightlife the city has to offer. The studio is also easily accessible to all mass transportation options and easy to get to from the three major airports serving New York City.

Like Avalanche’s Stockholm studio, the New York studio is located in a bright, open and airy custom-designed space spanning 10,000 square feet and offering a wide arrange of amenities to keep our employees happy and motivated.

We’ve collected a few links below that will give you some insight in the greatness that is New York City.

Perks & Benefits

Being part of Avalanche Studios brings with it a variety of benefits and perks. Here are a few of them:

Excellent medical coverage

All employees are offered 100% covered health care from the first day of employment including Medical, Dental and Vision. Better yet, this extends to spouses and children, as well.

36 days of paid holiday

Every full-time employee is offered 25 paid vacation days per year from the first day of employment. Additionally, we close the studio for two weeks every summer to give you the possibility to unwind, kick up your feet and be able to focus 100% on your family and loved ones while not worrying about what’s happening at the office. Plus, with 11 regular paid bank and religious holidays, this gives each employee up to 36 vacation days per year.

Sound working hours

Our flextime schedule makes it possible for our employees to manage their starting times and working hours as they see fit. Since we consider consistent overtime a result of poor management, we do everything in our power to keep everyone’s average working week to 40 hours. After particularly major content deliveries, we offer compensation leave as an additional benefit.

Commuter Reimbursement Program

Every employee is offered to take part in the Commuter Reimbursement Program where you can use pre-taxed salary to pay for commutation expenses to the studio.

Yearly salary reviews

Each position within Avalanche Studios is evaluated and assigned a competitive salary level based on job responsibilities. Salary levels for positions take into account the skills and education required to do the job, the demand for those skills and education required in the local job market. Salary ranges are reviewed annually to maintain a competitive position within our industry to ensure you stay motivated and feel rewarded.

State of the Art Facilities

Avalanche Studios brand-new, purpose-built office features a recreational zone with 65" plasma televisions for gaming, a big kitchen with fully stocked refrigerators offering free drinks and fruit, several meetings rooms and our trademark open plan development floor that keeps everyone completely accessible at all times.
