Not Your Typical Game Dev Company — More Like a Soviet-Era Bureaucracy with Great Perks - Anonymous employee Playrix Employee Review

Project assignment can make or break your experience — legacy projects often suffer from outdated management and resistance to change Very poor process management: leadership believes processes exist, but in reality, they are either dysfunctional or completely absent High turnover: employees are frequently burned out and replaced rather than supported or developed Toxic hierarchical culture: decision-making is top-down, and questioning orders is often unwelcome Lack of professional growth in leadership: many managers and producers grew within the company from junior roles, resulting in narrow perspectives and weak strategic vision HR-originated PMs often lack the skills to create balance between team and upper management Mistakes are not treated as learning opportunities — blame is assigned rather than focusing on solutions or prevention Feels more like working in a rigid government institution than in a modern, agile IT company Frequent unpaid overtime is normalized and expected — working late or on weekends is treated as part of the job, not an exception Emotional and mental toll is significant — "one year here feels like three"
