Creative environment, poor business/management culture - Marketing Communications Manager Ankama Employee Review

Lack of understanding of international markets (North America, latam and APAC). Most marketing and communications efforts are completely euro centric. HQ does not strive to support and facilitate international teams, they act like "bouncers" and "policemen" to "control" and effectively block. When I was there several talented highly skilled professionals came onboard to run Ankama's international operations around different continents... most were driven away by HQ middle management as some folks became territorial and undermined, blocked and were un-supportive. This led to the closing offices and massive layoffs. I left as soon as I could. A lot political power struggles.
