Pros

Nice office with ping pong table, football table, Happy Friday’s (where you get one coupon for a free drink at a nearby bar). Generally nice colleagues & flexible working hours

Cons

It should be a warning sign that there are few people in the sales team that have worked for more than 2 years. Sales people get fired for various reasons, some non performance related, and that is entirely the decision of the capricious CSO/ owner. The management try to project a family management style (the owners are a married couple), but the dark side to this style is that everything mama & papa says is the law and they don’t take kindly to people who do not behave or act as they dictate (micro management to the N degree). Instead of providing constructive feedback, they pick one random thing that you didn’t do right and that becomes the reason to suddenly show you the door. Do not expect a nurturing or empathic environment, either abide by their many daily decrees or be ready to get frog marched to the door. Not kidding here - in my time there I’ve seen many colleagues getting fired and expected to clear out and leave the premises without saying goodbye to anyone within minutes. That’s the modus operandi of everyone who leaves and should give you an insight into the management style. They also promise unlimited commission earnings at the interview then you discover that there are a dozen ways they use to try n stiff you on paying it out

Pros

Camaraderie between colleagues, (not sure it last long due to the toxic environment). Digital solutions in the EdTech sector is the only other positive point I could think of.

Cons

The list is long but I’ll try to be concise and provide you with clear insights. Have you ever been to the circus ? That’s how you would feel if you work at Gamelearn. About the company first, don’t get fooled by the nice speeches or by the so called companies’ values. It’s all bullshit and the reality is that the company is struggling. Micro management is part of the culture. Managers will read your emails, attend your meetings not to support you but just to make sure you do your job right. The managers are highly incompetent and have shown impressive lack of leadership. Typical example is, everyone back at the office twice a day and after few months you realize top executives haven’t showed up once. The sales department is a joke, no clear incentives, they change the commission plans every year. They fire people for no reasons, Even during their onboarding people got fired. The sales strategy is to exceed your KPI’s, period. That is how they implemented a fear sales culture. The management is abusive and you often get disrespected. I’m not going into details but to be sure talk to a former employee before considering joining. Whether you are a young dynamic professional or experienced one, I don’t see the point of joining Gamelearn. Lastly, whoever read this, you deserve a better opportunity for your career, there is no personal or professional development at Gamelearn, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!
