"To be Great Place to Work – Certified™ is proof of how Keywords Studios takes care of its clients and employees which benefits our business as it enables us to show our certification badge to potential partners and employees. To be certified allowed us to highlight the people-centric culture that we have built and to show the passion that we have for video games and the greater role that we play in the industry. We are privileged to be the go-to partner to 23 of the top 25 most prominent games companies, with over 70 facilities in 24 countries supporting more than 50 languages and 16 gaming platforms for over 950 clients across the globe.  I would definitely recommend the Emprising survey software to others as it allowed us to look at our strengths, our limitations and areas to improve on, so we can adapt to an ever-evolving professional landscape and implement changes and action plans for our people who we consider as our most invaluable resource."

"Keywords Studios Manila is a great place to work because it provides a safe, inclusive and engaging environment for technical and creative professionals who are passionate about games and who like to enrich their careers in the video game industry. Employees are given ample opportunity to hone their skills by providing access to work on exciting projects, work side by side with amazing AAA video game clients, industry leaders and video game veterans. This career development is facilitated from a backdrop of curated talent management and talent development programs, rewarding and competitive compensation and benefits design, well-thought wellness programs, supportive leadership and empowering culture.   

Prior and during pandemic, employee well-being has always been a major consideration for business decisions in Keywords. The company recognizes that we won’t be able to achieve great things if we don’t take care of our teams. Among others, the present work from home/hybrid work set-up, our inclusive benefits, employee connect mechanisms and mental health program are all testament to that priority."

"In my opinion, Keywords Studios is one of the few companies out there that works in unison despite diversity. With 50+ studios across 21 countries in 4 continents, we never fail to support players out there with troubleshooting game issues, we never fail to deliver the best services to our clients, and we never fail to evolve and try out new opportunities. All that is possible with everybody's small contribution that adds up to the great success of this company.   

If others want to be in a fun and diverse environment that values service delivery excellence and do work as if they are just playing games, then I would recommend them to work in Keywords Studios."

"The people I have worked with in KWS is made it a great place to work. The superiors that showed me trust and confidence I can fulfill my job and the colleagues that I can easily talk with because of the same passion for video games made KWS a great place to work. From casual to hardcore gamers, you can easily find someone you can talk to with about video game  My work experience here in KWS has been amazing since day 1. I would like others to experience the work culture that KWS administration has built here in the company. If you love video games and very comfortable with working with other gamers, you'll be perfect fit here!"

Angelo Garado Player Support Shift Lead 
"All Keywordians are kind gamers and fun to work with, thus, the reason why I enjoy working with them. I can see myself growing here in Keywords and I can see I can be successful here. I can feel that Keywords is helping me create the right path for my career.   

I would recommend Keywords Studios Manila because of its global presence. I know Keywords can enhance my craft and I am just happy to be part of this amazing organization."

ABOUT OUR METHOLOGY​

To be eligible for the World’s Best Workplaces list, a company must apply and be named to a minimum of 5 national Best Workplaces lists within our current 58 countries, have 5,000 employees or more worldwide, and at least 40% of the company’s workforce (or 5,000 employees) must be based outside of the home country. Extra points are given based on the number of countries where a company surveys employees with the Great Place to Work Trust Index©, and the percentage of a company’s workforce represented by all Great Place to Work surveys globally. Candidates for the 2017 Worlds Best Workplaces list will have appeared on national workplaces lists published in September 2016 through August 2017.

ABOUT OUR METHOLOGY​

The Best Workplaces in Asia List

Great Place to Work® identifies the top organizations that create great workplaces in the Asian and Middle Eastern regions with the publication of the annual Best Workplaces in Asia list. The list recognizes companies in three size categories:

  • Small & Medium (20 – 499 employees);
  • Large (500+ employees); and
  • Multinational.
 

To be considered for inclusion, companies must appear on one or more of our national lists in the region, which includes Greater China (covering China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau), India, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka and UAE. For the 2021 Asia List, companies ranked on the national list in the Philippines will also be included. Multinational organizations must meet the following requirements:

  1. Have at least 1,000 employees worldwide, with at least 40% (or 5,000) of those employees based outside the headquarter’s country and
  2. Appear on at least two national lists.
 

Multinationals also receive additional credit for their efforts to successfully create an excellent workplace culture in multiple countries in the region. The data used in the calculation of the regional list comes from national lists published in 2019 and early 2020.
