Hi all, we're looking into hiring several people here in our studio in Annecy in the character team.

For those who wondes where is Annecy, it's in the French Alps, and you can go ski/snowboard about 30-40min away ;) and you can go swimming in the massive lake in summer (or winter if you like too, but that seems a bit crazy ;))

And the town is so pretty, that it's used as reference in Pokemon:
