Our office is based out of Rocket-Space, a vibrant shared working environment dedicated to media and technology companies. Kitchen is fully stocked, kegs always on tap, and an amazing set of weekly events/speakers which facilitates information sharing and idea generation. The nature of our business (video games, wagering, social networking) lends itself to a very spirited, high energy, day-to-day experience...we pride ourselves on our ability to work as hard as we play. As we grow that balance will be more challenging to maintain but we are committed to hold on to our values and make Playhem a place people come to creatively "work" and succeed.
