Pros

Very good work life balance, helpful team members, team leaders are also supportive.

Cons

For last 1 years dirty office politics started and becoming bad every day. Team members stopping helping each other due to this politics and fear. Many people leaving without taking year end hike.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! We’re glad to hear that you’ve got supportive team leaders and a good work-life balance but we’re concerned about your other comments regarding the Bangalore office. We aim for all our offices to be supportive environments where our employees enjoy working and are confident that it will be free of “politics and fear”. The local HR team conducts regular pulse tests with employees to ensure this so we’re disappointed that this is not the case for you. Please reach out to them to discuss your feedback and they will look into it as a priority.

Pros

Fun little perks, events and treats keep things interesting but most importantly the team is generally fantastic and almost like a family. Progression in roles and engineering practices are being refined and are much improved.

Cons

Progression up till recently has been unstructured and opaque, but this is much better with new HR practices. Management structure is still slightly muddled, although again much improved.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We're delighted that you're having a positive experience being part of the GSN Games team! We've spent 2018 working on improving our management structure and our processes to make sure our progression routes are accessible and transparent so it's great to hear that a difference can be seen already. This is just the beginning though; we've got lots more planned for 2019!! We agree that the team here are fantastic so we've also got loads of fun events and rewards planned for the next year too and, if you've got any ideas for things we can do, make sure to let the HR Team know.

Failure at every level

Pros

Space was nice, people were friendly.

Cons

The project I was put on was so incredibly poorly architectured that it slowed all progress to a crawl. Management was not sympathetic to the technical debt that was accrued. As a result the game was scrapped and almost everyone was laid off.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with us. Unfortunately, on this particular project there were issues with the architecture and this did affect the outcome. However, with that learning, the team is now investing in better architecture and technology in order to prevent this happening again.
