Pets of 343

In early March, as the COVID-19 pandemic engulfed the world, the 343 Industries team transitioned to working-from-home in an effort to help flatten the curve and keep our employees and their families safe. Now, a few months into our “new normal”, our teams have overcome unprecedented challenges and instituted creative new ways to continue working on Halo.

As difficult as this transition to a remote work process has been, there are some silver linings. Beyond the core purpose of keeping our employees and their families safe, our shift to working-from-home has resulted in a significant expansion of our work force. For our latest spotlight, we’d like to introduce you to our furry, feathered, and scaly home-officemates who are working tirelessly to help us build the future of Halo.
