Not only does GHQ has handsome benefits, overseas Gamanians also enjoy many awesome or at times ‘odd’ benefits according to local customs: GKR often have meal gatherings to enhance their bond; colleagues from R&D in Shanghai and Beijing often rally for group travels during vacations and their favorite snack is the well-known ‘Zhang Jun Ya noodle-snack’ from Taiwan. GJP prepares free snack-filled cabinet for colleagues as well as many vending machines selling beverages. GHK’s gama-island is equipped with TV and many comfortable couches so that colleagues could relax and watch some Taiwanese soap operas. GEU and GUS’s benefits were set in compliance with local regulations, and have more annual leaves. Are you curious about the myriads of odd benefits enjoyed by Gamanians overseas? G!VOICE collected pictures from Gamania around the world about benefits and ‘birthday pranks’ to share with you all. Now, let’s read on!

Gama-Benefit: Say it out Loud
Be it birthday leave, grand tour leave, gama kindergarten or gama-island, there are tons of Gamanian-exclusive benefits. This time, G!VOICE went to the head quarter building to interview junior Gamanians’ thoughts on Gamania benefits. Let’s see what they have to say!
◆PLS-TW-PB, Derrick Ni: the food served in gama-island is delicious, the environment is really nice. Colleagues can all relax there. Gama-kindergarten is fantastic but it’s not applicable to everyone. Maybe the company could come up with more benefits that can be enjoyed by everyone?
◆GHQ-CSO, David Cheng: Compared with some overseas companies I used work for, Gamania has the best benefit. The establishment of gama-kindergarten is very useful, if I have a kid in the future, I’ll be sure to send him/her in. In addition, if I could manage my work a bit better, I’ll definitely ask for ‘grand tour leave’ to do some self-challenge.
◆GHQ-CSO, Herve Sohm: Grand tour leave is a chance for colleagues to realize their dreams, I would really love to try it myself. Gama-kindergarten satisfies the demand of the colleagues. For me personally, I think Gamania has great benefits, I’m very pleased.
◆SDG-GD, Jerry Chio: I’d like to know more about how to apply for grand tour leave because I’d really like to try.
◆Red-RD2, Wesley Huang: Taking a grand tour leave may incur issues like who should cover for your work and what type of challenge you’d like to set for yourself etc.
◆GHQ-BR, (from the left) Joe Chen, Peggy Huang, Emily Wu: Although we’ve just joined the company, the benefit here seems to be a lot better than other companies. Great work environment, the atmosphere is vibrant. In the future if I have kids, I’ll consider putting the min gama-kindergarten because it’s very safe. The food in gama-island is delicious, however if the company could raise the amount for meal subsidy, that would be fantastic! (lol)
◆GHQ-CSO (from the left) Valery Bourgevin, Michael Talec, Benjamin Pheline, (back) Gwenael Derian: These four handsome Frenchmen said that the benefit in Gamania is great. Gamania also planned some Chinese classes for them. Every day they will go to the gym to play some table tennis and the food in gama-island is great! (like!) Two of them have kids, so they think it is very practical for the company to have its own kindergarten, they would consider sending their children there.
◆GHQ-CSO, Katrin Meyberg: I just joined the company for half a year, I love going to the gym to play table tennis. I also enjoy going for meals and coffee in gama-island, Gamania has very good benefits.
◆ SDG-GD-謝孟穎（Deceya Hsieh）：SDG-GD, Deceya Hsieh, I like western cuisine and I think organic meals are good for the body. Thank the owner and the chef in gama-island for their hard work in preparing meals. The establishment of kindergarten is very useful.
