“I can’t imagine myself not making games and I have a home, ArenaNet, where I’m doing what I love to do. What makes it such a cool place to work is that our leadership cares. I feel that leadership wants to level up their employees. I recently transitioned to a leadership role where I get to be a mentor - ArenaNet recognized this was something I should do and they are nurturing this for me.” – Erik Fagerstrom, Lead Engineer at ArenaNet #TeamTestimonials #TeamSpirit #EmployeeSpotlights #EmployeeAppreciation #Passion #GameDevs #GameDevelopment #GamesIndustry #ArenaNet #GW2 #GuildWars2

“At ArenaNet, there are so many different points of view and I get excited to work with different perspectives. My differing perspectives are valued and celebrated.

Everyone knows their importance at the studio and it’s reassuring that everyone has their part to play. ArenaNet is excited to have everyone here.” – Alex Kain, Narrative Lead at ArenaNet #TeamTestimonials #TeamSpirit #EmployeeSpotlights #EmployeeAppreciation #Passion #GameDevs #GameDevelopment #GamesIndustry #LifeatArenaNet #ArenaNet #GW2 #GuildWars2

“I really love this company.  ArenaNet, to me, feels like a group of friends coming together to create cool cinematics, story, art, sound, and other crafts.  Then we bring it all together to develop this amazing game.  There’s a lot of camaraderie.  The team collaboration we experience day to day, the art craft development, the franchise world, the wonderful fan community that we have around this game - it’s an amazing package for me.” – Chelsey Shuder, Cinematics Director at ArenaNet #TeamTestimonials #TeamSpirit #EmployeeSpotlights #EmployeeAppreciation #Passion #GameDevs #GameDevelopment #GamesIndustry #LifeatArenaNet #ArenaNet #GW2 #GuildWars2

“What I enjoy most about working here is that everyone bands together. If it feels like something can’t be accomplished, everyone meets to work out a new scope, timeline or resourcing. Leadership supports development teams when things change - it adds a lot of trust and puts value into what’s being worked toward. It makes the end product better!” - Robert Neckorcuk, Lead Server Engineer at ArenaNet #TeamTestimonials #TeamSpirit #EmployeeSpotlights #EmployeeAppreciation #Passion #GameDevs #GameDevelopment #GamesIndustry #LifeatArenaNet #ArenaNet #GW2 #GuildWars2
