DoubleDown Interactive sounds like a fun place to work.
Meg Murphree, manager of player experience and support at the social casino and mobile game company, explained to Built In that she loves to have fun. Luckily, she’s able to do so at the office — both through the work itself and through the benefits the space provides.
“There is a great sense of balance between the fun together and the passion for the work,” said Murphree.
Not only does she get to be involved first-hand in the player experience — enjoying the good times and working to solve any problems — as a leader on the player experience and support team, she gets to enjoy unique perks like a game room and professional massages. On top of that, she is lifted up every day by her coworkers’ attitudes.
“Whether it’s a quick chat in the hallway or an impassioned discussion about how to provide the best experience for our players, I find myself inspired and excited when surrounded by my coworkers,” she said. “The game room doesn’t hurt either.”
In her conversation with Built In Seattle, Murphree elaborated on what makes DoubleDown Interactive fun for both customers and employees.
The best part? The company is hiring right now.
What makes DoubleDown Interactive the best place to work?
It’s fun!
I genuinely have fun everyday — and I’m not just talking about the game room. To start, the people at DoubleDown Interactive make it an amazing place to work. On top of that, I get so much enjoyment from the work itself! The player experience and support team is there to navigate all the challenges and celebrate all the achievements with our players. All of this adds up to a fun day at work.
How would you describe your company culture in a single word?
Balanced.
From my previous answer, you can probably guess that I love having fun — but the fun doesn’t distract from the focus, and I appreciate that balance.
There’s also a healthy personal balance between work life and home life. It feels good to know that I can be supported as a team member and as an individual.

Please list five of your favorite perks DoubleDown Interactive offers.
The professional massages have always been my number-one favorite perk. There’s nothing like a 20 minute chair or table massage between meetings
I also love the Pride Bingo we do each year, with proceeds going to a local charity. All of the events are outstanding, and our experience team does a great job coming up with fun new activities for us.
The company swag is always unexpected and exciting to find sitting on your desk in the morning, and the game room and snacks round off my list of favorite benefits. Someday I’ll get the top score on Addams Family pinball!
