Pluspunten

+ Great benefits. + Great co-workers. + Job security. This place has been around and will continue to survive in the educational-gaming niche.

Minpunten

- Pay is at the low end of the scale. - No room to grow. Office politics rule this place- if you are looking to move up it will take a large time investment that is not related to your actual job. - Work-life balance is tough to maintain due to working with India during the night and being in office during the day. - Lack of creativity. This company is interested in doing re-skins of existing products. - No mentoring or effective training. - Fast development cycles with a focus on quantity over quality. - Company model shifts multiple times a year, creating mix-up during development cycles. - General lack of game knowledge in upper management. This might be directly linked to why employees are paid how they are. - Passion is lacking. People don't seem excited about games here.

Pluspunten

5% 401K match pretty much sums this up.

Minpunten

Office politics overshadow talent, constructive feedback and pretty much everything else here. The 'Process" is highly disorganized and I use the term "process" VERY loosely here. People working insane hours because the volume projects they're trying to tackle far exceeds the actual humane production power of this studio which leads to extremely poor quality of the actual product. Salaries on the very low end to the point where people hold 2nd jobs on the weekends. I mean WHAT? If you're being productive and working all day while others are goofing off and actually want to then leave on time to spend time with your family, you will be guilted and called out for leaving "early" - just one example. Basically nothing but straight up, cut and dried BS here from morning until night with the expectation of people having zero life outside the office for below-industry-average pay. Couldn't get out of this place fast enough!
