Pluspunten

Gaming company, rather casual environment.

Minpunten

No direction at all. New titles/projects being discussed all the time, almost none ever take place. Current games are either outdated (some even older than 10 years) and only kept alive to generate revenue or are just being re-released versions of (failed) Korean titles. If you enjoy video games, avoid this company as (senior) management displays a complete lack of knowledge when it comes to handling/publishing games or people/teams. You do not count as a valued member of the company or a team, you are merely a low level employee where no efforts are taken to retain any talent you bring to the company. Approx. 75% of the staff have left the company in the last 2 years, while hardly any new employees were hired, with the trend going downward.

Pluspunten

I joined the new office in El Segundo, CA which is considered a separate branch from the Dublin and the now-defunct Los Angeles office. - Great co-workers - Given a lot of autonomy on tasks - Startup culture (can be a con for some people) - Best health benefits I've ever had - Casual dress-code

Minpunten

- It is a mobile gaming company, knowledge about mobile gaming is essential. - Fixed working schedule - Can be long hours depending on position - Sometimes have to wear many hats (can be a pro for some people)

Pluspunten

The big projects that they were able to obtain 5 years ago

Minpunten

complete and utter incompetence at the managerial level. Decisions made without data. No interest in expanding the abilities of the company or themselves. Many times inept management leads to overwhelming crunch work for the entire company. Inability to communicate has led to wasteful decisions as well as the closure of their US subsidiary due to inability to work with the US staff there. This inability to communicate as well as manage has also led to the loss of a high profile AAA project. Not enough support or proper perspective in regards to what are essential projects to the company. Bleeding qualified and formerly motivated employees left and right. Not destined to remain in business or independent.
