Do you want to sit next to Maxis CEO Morten Lundal every single day?

You might scare him a little, but according to Maxis‘ new video, you can.

Many job advertisements emphasise the fact that they’re looking for creative people, yet quite often, their adverts don’t correctly reflect that aspect of the company.

Well, Maxis decided to take a stab at a job advertisement with a short clip which they hope will accurately reflect their company and its values.

It was pretty well done, all things considered. It’s simple and straight to the point while also giving potential job applicants a glimpse into the working environment and culture at the Maxis office.

Based on the video, we learn that Maxis operates on a free-seating and open office layout — so no tiny cubicles that make you feel cut off from the world — with plenty of large open windows that let in a lot of natural light. With this free-seating arrangement, Marcus the app guy says you can sit next to a different person (or we’re guessing the same person as well) every single day if you wanted “even next to the CEO”.

The video also demonstrates the potential learning opportunities a job at Maxis would entail, via professional courses and online learning tools. You’re also encouraged to keep healthy with Maxis’ own fitness trainers and activities including…Mixed Martial Arts? Talk about the best way to relieve stress.

But, perhaps best of all is that Maxis encourages people to step up and find innovations that rewrite the rules. Well, that and the fact that you can come to work in casual Friday attire every single day — as long as you reign it in a little.

Now, I can’t attest to how accurately it reflects the actual company’s workplace culture or the environment, but from the brief video, they’ve piqued my interest enough to make me want to find out. It’s refreshing, to say the least, and it also means we might not have to rely on services like Glassdoor as much.
