Applying for a job at a game company? The kind of annual meeting with a lot of people's awards.
"No lottery, no hard work, 2022 annual meeting we will be fully distributed, sun exposure, employee selection is sent!" On October 20, Mu Pupil Technology released an article entitled "Annual Meeting Gifts, You Pick One at Random" on the official public account, and the page published the voting poster of the 2022 Annual Meeting Prizes of Mu Pupil Technology.

Most of the 10 options listed in the poster are high-end and popular electronics, from the Apple MacBook Air with the 256G M1 chip to the DJI Air 2S fly kit. Even if employees don't vote, the company will randomly distribute Apple iPhone 13 or 13pro.
On the pulse, many employees of big game manufacturers directly called "envy", hoping that this year's game companies can use this as a standard to "roll up". Perfect World employees: "What else do we have in addition to the inner volume overtime"; NetEase Game employees: "Is our company still short of people"; Lilith Game employees: "Roll up, Lilith supports up"; Tencent Game employees: "Understand, this goes to Mu Hitomi".
<h5>While exposing the annual meeting prizes, pushing recruitment demand</h5>
Times Finance learned that 1 month ago, Mu Hitomi Technology had opened the first round of voting for the prizes of the annual meeting, when there were more than 20 options, and the 10 prizes presented on the final poster were also the result of the votes of all employees. Perhaps because the 10 options are too attractive, Wang Xin (pseudonym), who works at Mu Hitomi Technology, and his colleagues in the office have now completely forgotten which options failed.
Compared with the envy of outsiders, the internal employees of Mu Hitomi Technology seem to have a flat response to this. Another employee who works at Mu Hitomi Technology told Times Finance that she and Wang Xin both chose the iPhone 13 Pro, "In previous years, the specifications of the annual meeting were not low, but they were not so high." ”
It is reported that Mu Hitomi Technology set up 6 categories of awards at last year's annual meeting, the highest award is "Sanya 5 days and 4 nights two-person tour (paid holiday), Leica Q2, Chanel 19 lid bag, POG Ice Blade 4 Plus notebook, Apple three-piece set (MacBook Pro + iPhone 12 Pro Max + iPad Air 4 with keyboard and pen)". Last year's Sun Exposure Award was a choice of 8 for China Eastern Airlines Weekend Free Fly, Dyson Hair Stylist, Xbox, Switch Console and so on.
According to the value of each prize this year is not less than 8,000 yuan, Mu Hitomi Technology has more than 1,000 employees, and the company needs to allocate at least 8 million yuan of budget on this year's annual meeting prizes. But Wang Xin told Times Finance that the specifications of the game company's annual meeting prizes are not low, and Mu Hitomi Technology cannot be called the "ceiling" of the industry's annual meeting prizes.
A game company HR told Times Finance that the number of employees of a well-known game company in the industry is not as many as that of internet manufacturers, but the benefits are very good. In addition to Mu Pupil Technology, there is no list of prizes for the annual meeting of other game companies this year on the Internet.
But last year, Lilith Games Grand Prizes went to sony TVs, PS5, 512G iPhone 12 Pro Max and 256G iPad Air. The Sunshine Award is an AirPods Pro headset, Dyson handheld vacuum cleaner, CPB eye cream, TomFord lipstick set, alien mechanical keyboard to choose from.

At the Miha Tour Annual Meeting, 1% of employees can get the "13-inch MacBook Pro (M1 chip) + Apple Watch Series6+512G iPhone 12 Pro max", and the Sunshine Award has reached more than 3,000 yuan per capita. Some of the project teams of Miha Tour also achieved a PS5 per person.
In addition, 3% of the employees of The EagleBill Network received the Japanese version of the PS5, and the special prize of the paper folding mainly for women's games was a Dior medium Lady D-Lite handbag.
"The gaming industry is an industry that relies heavily on high-tech talent, and corporate welfare has become an important means of attracting talent. Therefore, the annual meeting benefits of game companies over the years have also attracted more attention. Wang Xin believes that the company's further improvement of the annual meeting prize benefits may be to attract more talents. Times Finance found that along with the annual meeting prize list poster in the public account pushed together with a large number of recruitment needs of Mu Hitomi Technology Company.
<h5>Aim at the domestic game market and rob people by welfare</h5>
Founded in 2014, although the company is headquartered in Shanghai, it is mainly for the overseas game market. Its "Magic Rush" and "Mobile Legends: Bang Bang" (hereinafter referred to as "MLBB") are very loud in overseas markets such as Southeast Asia, and the company's official website said that it is "one of the Chinese game companies with the largest number of overseas players".
In March this year, Mu Hitomi Technology was acquired by the domestic Internet giant ByteDance, and the amount of online acquisition reached 4 billion US dollars, and Mu Hitomi Technology became a heavy chess piece laid by Byte in the game industry. But what is more noteworthy is that only half a year after the completion of the acquisition, Mu Hitomi Technology launched the Chinese version of the MOBA mobile game (multiplayer online tactical competitive game) "MLBB" game "Decisive Peak", and completed the internal test of the national service from September 26 to October 9.
According to China Economic Network, industry insiders regard this game as the strongest competitor of Tencent's "Glory of kings", AndbyteDance may hope to rely on it to gain a place in the domestic e-sports market, but the Chinese market is not the ultimate goal of Mu Hitomi Technology.
Just this year, Mu Hitomi Technology also used the "MLBB" IP derivative to place card games "Mobile Legends: Adventure" and "Symphony of Epic" knocked on the door of the Japanese and Korean game markets respectively, and achieved good results. In the face of the company's globalization strategy, it is not surprising that high benefits have become an auxiliary strategy for rapidly attracting talent.
According to the official website of Mu Hitomi Technology, the company currently has 165 social recruitment positions, and there are 42 campus recruitment positions in the class of 2022. On the Boss direct recruitment platform, Mu Hitomi Technology recruited 172 positions, and only 92 lilith game recruitment positions in the same period. Times Finance found that most of the technical positions in game companies are marked with "16 salaries".
Employees of a large domestic factory said that they were also greatly shocked by the list of prizes at the annual meeting of Mu Pupil Technology, and even if the option of Mu Pupil PS5+ Switch was changed to a minus sign, he was willing to do so. But he also stressed: "The method of attracting talent with high welfare will definitely work, but it will wait for the annual meeting of other game companies to be exposed, and everyone will decide how many points to add to Mu Hitomi after looking at the gap." And the prize is only one of the items that attract talent, and the weight may not be too high in the various indicators of selecting a company. ”
