Pros

None, not a single. Sad.

Cons

All decisions in the company has to be approved by CEO / GOD, like literally all. As a true blood emperor he has a right to punish his slaves. Usually with lashes, though decapitation is also quite often as well. It does not really matter if you settled in the Kingdom 7 years ago or yesterday. You are Wanlis property. To survive in this darkages land you need to stick to few rules: 1) God / Emperor is always right and you should tell it to him few times a day; 2) If God / Emperor is not right then look point 1 3) Kinguin is the strongest brand in the world. And everybody loves it. This one you have to remember really good 4) Be nice to jester. He keeps cheating to everyone but as the matter of fact he is second after God in the company. 5) Kingdom's front page is beautiful and the loading time is AMAZING. 6) We do not talk about queen. Never, ever. 7) If you happen to be a skirt do not use makeup and dress unassumingly. Queen does not like the competition. 8) God's family competences are out of the question 9) G2A are savages 10) All former slaves were buffoons and betrayed Ready to settle down? The Kingdom awaits you!

Pros

Literarly none, and there will be none as far as the current managment keeps running the company particularly the CEO and the CCO. those are the only two persons who decide even when the broken coffee mechine can be replaced.

Cons

*Incredible chaos within the company. * The company is mostly run by the CEO who intervenes in everything but literarly lacks the very basic skills for management and acts like a child who needs to be pampered. * Disgusting and intolerable organizational level. * No one knows who is responsible for what. *This company is run like a plane with a drunken captain (you can imagine the rest.. ). **Employees are frustrated due to the arbitrary (group) firing and dismissal with no reason but the lack of vision for the near tomorrow. *....And many many other crazy stuff that I don't want tp spend my time writing about.

No Company for Clever People

Pros

None currently - all benefits given in every job offer of the company have been voided without any notification to employees.

Cons

- Lack of any procedures and miscommunication. Working there is like a riding a bike with no handle bars. It's difficult to even find out who your direct supervisor is! - Illegible structure and constant chaos. The management likes to come up with profound ideas about an efficient shape of departments shape every two months. Yet that would be it as they don't introduce any further and deeper instruction and they leave employees on their own which causes nothing more but chaos. As there's no outcome, the management decides to change structure again turning the company upside down and demotivating employees for another time. There is no failure that would possibly lead the management to any conclusion. Instead they roast another headline idea, just wishing on a star and waiting that it would work eventually. - Highly incompetent, low skilled and unexperienced management. It gathers both the longest working people (who were promoted back in times when the company was raised mainly by the general market situation and no single competitor) and foreigners who were entitled to hold high office only because they come from abroad. Lack of knowledge and awareness is really noticeable when they stop to answer you or avoid a discussion when something remains beyond their comprehension. Basics of chosen fields seem to be clever ideas to them. - Incredibly obsolete technology. Current technological possibilities of Kinguin do not allow them to follow modern e-commerce trends. It makes skilled employees hands tied. There were multiple attempts of highlighting the subject but It was kept ignored so badly. It is sad to observe that small eStores with pet accessories which are based on Word Press are way more developed than Kinguin. - Unstable position. As it was mentioned, there had been a lot of decent and experienced people brought from other companies but later on (after 1-3 months) they were sacked for no clear or logically explainable reason. Moreover the company is used to conduct massive layoffs every spring and summer (the next one is about to come) - Lack of any long-term plan for the company. The CEO changes his mind every couple of days completely forgetting of what he said earlier (It doesn't even matter that new "bright" ideas contradict the previous ones). He comes up with his mug's games completely ignoring ongoing works and current priorities - all of it have to be abandoned just to satisfy the vanity of the CEO.
