Pros

Too many cons, you may treat it as a pro

Cons

Felt like being jailed. What people in management say differs to what they did. The CTO is so petty that he even argued about colleagues not giving him farewell treats on their last day.

Pros

- Young, talented and energetic staff who are very passionate in gaming and know a lot of the industry - Great office benefits package with good supplies of snacks and beverages plus lots of perks and allowances for staff working overtime - Extremely generous bonuses offered - best amongst industries - Great healthcare scheme - Special interesting gifts in major festivals in Hong Kong - Shallow company structure for easy upward communication

Cons

- Staff, in management point of view, by default needs to work a lot of overtime - Seemingly no prospects; The company fails to deliver new games and only rely on one product for 8 years - Extremely underpaid compare to peers in the industry; Management treat bonuses as your stable salary but it is extremely volatile, you might have none if targets weren't met - Micromanagement from C-suites, such as controlling how you communicate with colleagues and how you execute the task, kills creativity from staff - Questionable decisions from management drives the product into inevitable mess - Constant distrust from the management leads to a very low working morale of staff - Senior managers might monitor/discuss your activities in personal social accounts for performance evaluation without your consent/prior notice After all these, the creativity process is often distracted and under a lot of pressure from players and management. The chain reaction of that yields a very slow creative workflow with lots of loopholes in it

Pros

- Satisfying benefit package - Free lunch every Friday - Great bonus - Friendly stuff

Cons

- Messy management - No creativity - Disband a team once the game turned out to be a failure, and mostly the failure is caused by lack of creativity - Force employee to play and enjoy Tower of Saviors by emotional blackmail - Old mindset people in "creative" team
