My experience at PlayerLync has helped me learn about databases, API’s, workflow, and much more. I have gained knowledge in areas I didn’t expect, such as programming and automated testing. But most of all, I’ve learned how to best communicate with others on a team and work together to solve problems that affect a larger group of individuals.

Cory

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

By giving folks the freedom to try new things or new ways. There is rarely one right way, and it's only through trying new things that people or teams reach greatness.

Gary

Head of Marketing & Channels

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

On my first day, our CEO left me a note with “More life!” written at the bottom. I've seen this in the work/life balance this company pushes its employees to have. I work hard and play hard at PlayerLync and am ultimately more successful and fulfilled because of the balance!
