Our top priority is people — you can’t have HR without the “Human” factor.  Each person makes up a part of the culture at Schell Games and each new hire is an addition to that culture.  Every decision we make — whether adding a new employee, benefit, training, or policy — has to be weighed in the perspective of benefiting not just one person, but improving the studio as a whole.
