Hello everyone,
a couple of interesting statistics from the Minsk office of Wargaming, responsible for World of Tanks.
- 73 percent of employees in Minsk are men, 27 percent women
- every third employee has children
- every month, the office works together for more than 3 million hours (342 years)
- the largest department is “customer relations” with 21 percent of employees
- there are 1288 plants in the office (SS: I wonder how much time they spent checking)
- WG has dedicated transport, moving people every day from Minsk center to the office and back, these vehicles drove 40k kilometers ever since the program was started
- WG hires over 60 new employees a month apparently
- 9 of 10 employees took part in some education programs (1264 people) in 2013
- the surface of the Minsk office is 50k square meters
- in 2013, 3400 people were sent on business trips
- the office drinks 1700 liters of milk per month and 4300 liters of kvas (SS: tasted that recently, it’s vile, no idea how they can drink that)
- the office eats cca 16 tons of sweet pastry per year and also drinks 55k cups of coffee per month and three tons of apples
- internet traffic in 2013 was more than 400 terabytes (415k GB)
- in 2013, WG recieved 25 mil of letters and sent 1,5 mil of them
- the most common names are Aleksandr and Olga
Original Russian pictures:
Kvas is grate, don’t offend it.
also its a nickname for KV-1S :)
Really ? Never heard about it.
in russian at least.
Most kvas you can buy in ocal supermarket have same quality as piss .
Home made kvass (with raisins) is delicious.
I should agree about taste of bottled kvass made from chemicals :D
Hard to imagine how it tastes in Belorussia, but should be same as everywhere.
Well, there are some half-decent brands of bottled “kvas”. Or “gira” as you’d call it. But home brew one is hands down the best anyway.
seems interesting to try, this Kvas
Olga <3
Your Waifu ?
Dude, i don’t know what kvas you drank but down here in balkan it taste godlike
- there are 1288 plants in the office (SS: I wonder how much time they spent checking)
by checking inventory book perhaps?
you must be fun at parties. ;p
I hate parties.
>My feet hurt
i am curious about how much of those 1288 plants are weed :-P
0
If it can’t produce vodka then it’s garbage!!! :)
You brew vodka from home plants ? Jesus, it must be worse than
Krokodil
I just still wonder how you can have game developers in 2014 … and not have most/all of them speak English…
It seems extremely strange.
“SS: tasted that recently, it’s vile, no idea how they can drink that”
-Different tastes.
Let’s just say that if modern world comes to your doorstep too soon, many won’t catch up. Don’t worry, they’ll learn sooner or later and if not, their children will because they will understand it’s an advantage.
If you don`t like anyhting beer related, then you won`t like “kvas”. It’s like non-alcoholic sweet beer.

Kvas is healthy , non alcoholic beverage. Way better than Coca Cola that causes death.
I knew a kid, 14 yo, trained football, he was drinking 1L of Cocacola every day for several years. He died of liver cirrhosis. Fanta , Pepsi, same shit.
Kvas is prolly healthiest stuff u can drink from soft drinks, Silent, but tastes are different.
I drink Pepsi and sometimes CocaCola almost every day, for 20+ years – haven’t died
>Coca Cola that causes death.
Sauce plox, otherwise its bullshit
Although Coca cola is unhealthy just by the sheer amount of sugar it has, I give you that but causing death ? You know, drinking water may cause death too if drank to the extreme.
That’s what they teach in sovjet schools….western capitalistic beverages are causing death. Better drink some of our homemade poison!!
Google “person dies from drinking coke”. You’ll find more then one story behind it.
This is why KV-1S is so OP, they drink it (KVass) everyday.
Ummm 3 millon manhours per month ?
Were they working 24/7 that would make it roughly 4 500 employees.
Were they working 8/5 (like normal people) it would mean they have got over 18 750 employees.
Compared to 9 of 10 employees took part in some education programs and those 9 add up to 1264.
Equals there are 1404 employees.
Were those 1404 employees work 3 million hours evenly, one would have to work 2136 hours per month, 534 per week, 76 per day all week.
These numbers dont add up…
Wonder if they have temporal paradox slaves that arent included as humans in the education statistics….
Its just pr shit to make them look good.
kvas (SS: tasted that recently, it’s vile, no idea how they can drink that)
Russians can say that about Kofola too ;)
So do I….
I think we shouldn’t talk about each others tastes without offending someone. Sooner or later someone will come whining and throwing shit at you ;__;
SS please don’t insult Kvas. It’s a very nice drink and only cheapest stuff from supermarket is crappy. I live in Ireland and once I get a craving for it I don’t mind going to the nearest Lithuanian shop, in a car if I have to, just to get it. Taste of good kvas( called Gira in Lithuanian) justifies price of petrol ten times :)
You can also try in Polsih shop – look for “Kwas chlebowy” :)
I know I go to Polish shops too :) Good thing both countries got same tastes when it comes to food :)
dafuq ss? kvass is tasty…
“- the largest department is “customer relations” with 21 percent of employees”
Do they really count bots as employees? (:-o)
They failed to mention another interesting fact:Percent of those 3,000,000 man-hours of work spent designing new Assault Maps since we only have a pathetic 4: ZERO.
I’m glad that the time spent on assault maps is limited.
I’ve turned off assault mode in WoT and it’s been that way for a very long time. The assault on Malinkova was crazy especially if you’re in a T95 as you would nt ge tup the hill in time. Also assault on Prohorovka was silly.
wow russians still use letters to talk to someone?
quote: “there are 1288 plants in the office”
one weed plant per person .. that explains quite a lot :))
I wonder how much time are they spending making stats like this. Every now and then there are some statistics from WG about random stuff. They really like to brag around.
I wonder which department do most of 10 employees hired every month goes to? And that would also means they are replacing 9-10 employee that left
