Unnecessary hustle culture with terrible management - 3D Artist LILA Games Employee Review

Fun place to work that does not feel like work. Focused and dedicated founders that want you to be better and push you to be better in a great way. Friendly employees that are really good to work with. Productive and enjoyable both remote and in office. Working at Lila has greatly improved my skill. It has been a fun and excellent experience that I hope everyone in the gaming industry gets to experience!

Non off the top of my head. Maybe more chips in the snack area.

Gained exposure to startup-style game development workflows. Learned why not to join a gaming startup Learned that if you are American enough everyone will lick your boots Learned how not to make a game Do not join any company that is lead by J kim and others

Toxic and high-stress work culture with poor work-life balance. Leadership communication often felt disrespectful, reactive, and dismissive. Frequent instability, shifting priorities, and lack of clear direction. Employees were expected to handle excessive workloads under constant pressure. Concerns and feedback were often ignored rather than addressed constructively. Unequal treatment and favoritism negatively affected team morale. There appeared to be repeated terminations and sudden exits that created an atmosphere of insecurity and fear. At times, decisions around hiring and firing felt driven more by ego and personal disagreements than by professionalism or performance. Product vision and execution lacked consistency, leading to frustration across teams. Burnout and attrition seemed common across departments. Limited transparency from leadership regarding company direction and decision-making. Difficult environment for long-term career growth or stability.
