Playtika’s Post

Playtika was founded in Israel. Israel is the heart and soul of our company.  And when it bleeds - we bleed. Since the brutal attacks on Saturday Oct 7, our teams have been working relentlessly, trying to support our southern employees, their families, civilians and troops in the south - providing housing solutions in safer areas, delivering food and supply donations to those in need. Our Playtikans have also been constantly working to support their friends and families, not only opening their homes and hearts, but also volunteering and donating, warming our hearts. We condemn these brutal and violent attacks, and pray for better, safer times. #WeStandWithIsrael

Sharing is caring. It may sound corny, but when it comes to our first-ever VIP Account Managers Clan meeting, it's actually true. As account managers, they support our players' communities, get crucial feedback from them, and help improve their personalized playing experience. With the first clan meeting, led by our champions Gal Nof and Gal Ben Arosh, VIP Account Managers across Playtika studios gathered to create meaningful and insightful connections with their peers and share ideas, insights, and learnings - which in turn will help them better support their communities and take players' experience to another level. With more meetings, professional lectures and discussions, and round-table collaborations, we can't wait to see what's next for our players! Here are some photos from their global meeting held simultaneously in Herzliya and Bucharest

𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞. 𝐈𝐬𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐥𝐢. 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫. 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭. 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞. 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐝. 𝐀 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲. These are the things our LGBTQ Playtikans are proud to be. It is especially this year, with violence at an all-time high*, that the LGBTQ community has proven how inseparable it is to the fabric of Israeli society. Each and every one of us has something to be proud of. In a special 2024 Pride Month photoshoot, our participating LGBTikans brought their identity and showed their pride in a stunning visual way. We also partnered with IGY - Israel Gay Movement for a deep, ongoing collaboration in order to make a real difference ; Through professional guidance to LGBTQ students to help them start their careers, weekly volunteer work with teens, and taking part in the "Jane Addams" project aiding LGBTQ teens, we aim to make a real change. We're proud to issue this photoshoot magazine,  proud to be partnering with the future generation and youth of IGY, but mostly proud of our LGBTikans. Wear your colors proudly, strong, and bright. And may we not forget the color within us that is still missing. 🎗️ So, what are you 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄?

Why focus on building a community, and not just games? Because that sense of togetherness works not just for our players - but for our employees too: We make sure new Playtikans are welcomed and assigned with a "Buddy" to help show them the ropes.

What. An. Event.!. Playtika Bucharest hosted a unique Java debate led by the awesome Java Champion, Victor Rentea. Two teams, Team Jackpot and Team Royal, went head-to-head in a thrilling showdown and tackled hot java (get it?) topics: Now that Java 17 has records, is Lombok obsolete? Message bus vs. HTTP calls for service communication – what's better? Project Reactor or Virtual Threads – which one should we rely on? NoSQL vs. SQL databases – which has more use cases? Unit tests or integration tests – which makes you more confident? It was not just insightful but super engaging. Everyone was on the edge of their seats! The jury voted, but the audience also had their say as a fifth jury member, making it even more fun. We ended up with a tie, so we had an intense fifth round to decide the winner. In the end, only one team took home the prize money, but everyone was a winner. We all walked away with new insights and sharper debate skills. Thanks to everyone who participated and see you next time!
