Pros

It is an excellent company to raise your CTC, the people working there are nice, although they are slowly leaving. You get lunch and they organize parties and things like that. Insurance is there for you and your family, the office looks decent, no formal dress code.

Cons

"Daily working hours range from 8-10 hours. Weekly hours cannot exceed 48 hours." That's what the Indian Labor Law states, but these people seem not to understand this, and they think they are getting away with this. Only a matter of time before they legally get wrecked for this. Extreme racism is practiced in this company, they see Indian people as slaves. They want cheap labor with people working there all day like in Asian Factories. They will never come and greet you but they expect you to do so because somehow they are superior. They also say pretty bad things about India and people there just sit and listen because anyone giving feedback is fired. That is the reason that they failed to even make a basic game, and they will never be able to make it. The only thing that they are good at is fake marketing, and that is the thing that holds this company barely standing. Everyone in indie gaming just laughs at them behind their backs but they are too stupid to see and understand. They once implemented this rule where you had to pay Rs 200 for every minute you were late and wouldn't get anything extra if you worked late, hypocrisy at its best. No work from home for Indian employees but these Western egoistic leaders can go to the US anytime for months of vacation and working from home. Instead of working the leaders keep staring at employees and selecting who to fire next, they put extra desks for more people to join sadly the already filled desks got empty haha. I can go on and on but if this does not warn you I don't know what else will, so good luck.

Pros

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!

Cons

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

Pros

- Get to work on multiple pipelines (cause requirement kept changing) - Cross team exploration - Colleagues (90% of them have been fired so not anymore)

Cons

- No respect towards people - CEO is racist - Overworked- 56hours a week- 6 days a week and wants to implement 9-9-6 (which has to be illegal) - HR manipulates market study to low blow you - Management is not mature with decision making, PMs are not from Game Development background- They call shots and call it "logical" - Efficiency=Speed and not number of hours spent in office, clearly proof of your game not launching - Wouldnt recommend anybody to work under such a CEO with no vision of growth and stability, CEO is a tyrannt and weirdly keeps saying "I'm going to torture you to success". - Company had mass lay off cause budget cut with no product to make money in hand - CCO and CTO left the company, its just CEO and his 3 PMs making it work, not nice people to work with either. (Havent played alot of games to make games) - Missed out on basic of pre-production of game and directly jumped to making a game with no proper Game Directory for 4years and then canned the game.
