Pros

- Cool project with big names involved. - Hard working and talented employees.

Cons

- Offer very low salary compared to other companies. - Leadership is giving too much control and decision making to one person which is causing employees to leave. - Some employees have instantly lost their jobs without any explanation during their vacation. - Employee morale is currently as low as it gets. - They've just lost some of their best talent. - Lying to investors when the game will be finished and ultimately rushing development. - Leadership is threatening employees to stay within the company. - Leadership is taking advantage of Ukrainian employees. - Leadership is watching their employee's personal/private chats. - Leadership is watching their employee's LinkedIn pages and calling them to make them stay if they set their status to 'OpenToWork'. - A lot of employees are currently getting promoted to keep them at the company to squash a mass exodus after recent events. - Currently saying they'll fix all issues to make the company good again, however the true problem is the guys at the very top. They're not going anywhere, no matter how much free food, promotions, parties, and whatever else you do to try and sweep things under the rug.

Pros

- Good responsibilities if you're a junior - Nice office location in Frankfurt - Fab lunch spots near the Frankfurt office - You can probably get a great salary but if this ever is delayed, flee. - Neill Bloomkamp is a nice guy, though I can't imagine he'll stick around

Cons

- Allegations of assault in the office, leadership then made jokes and gaslighted them. - When people resigned after this, Studio management first offered promotions and extra money to retain staff, then spoke negatively about previous staff members if they continued to leave. - Expect petty politics from Studio Leadership. - Salary payments in Frankfurt were delayed multiple times. - Salary payments in Ukraine weren't paid for multiple months. - Do not accept a paid apartment from the company, this is to retain - I am a disabled employee, expect studio leadership to throw offensive phrases around, inclusivity and diversity is not accounted for. - Studio leadership will not have your back when your work is delayed due to them changing priorities mid-milestone. - Most of the great top tier talent has left the company and this shows in poor game dev practices - Poor Creative Leadership and lack of commitment to a clear single vision results in persistent rework of core features - No overall, high level design vision on how to have features interact, compliment and support each other, which results in a collection of features rather than a "Good" game. - Colleagues complaining about other colleagues is rife. - Some team members repeatedly punched walls, swearing/ shouting in the office then got promoted because they threatened to leave, line managers didn't address his behaviour. - Teaches poor management, leadership, game development methods, and a poor team mentality to juniors and interns, I hope that they are able to keep their passion for game dev and find better places

Pros

Cool Logo and Marketing (but don't let this deceive you)

Cons

- The Co-Founders are not great leaders of the company due to their incompetent decisions - plus they don't know how to make games (The CSO, Alex doesn't even play games), they're doing it for money. - Soviet-style management - Constant lies from the CEO & overhearing overpromising lies to investors + hear the CEO yell a lot at the office which brings the moral down at the Kyiv + Frankfurt Studio. - No respect to the NDA. - Leadership is watching their employee's personal/private chats. - Leadership threatening employees to stay within the company. - Employees don't feel safe or valued due to unsafe history of the company's past. - Before the war (& still today), the CEO prioritized his other company Plink over Game Development + Company development at Gunzilla - which caused a lot of pushed back plans bc he didn't make time for it. - Employees instantly lost their jobs without explanation during their vacation. Advise to Management: Stop wasting money.
