      Shady and illegal practices - company misleads interns they would be paid, then refuses to pay

      Pros

      Good work device system - high-end remote desktops. Company sometimes sends employees branded gifts.

      Cons

      I worked for R8G POLAND SP. Z O. O. under Dragons Lake (AAA games division) - the company misleaded me that I would be paid for my internship. During the penultimate interview I was told by a HR internship head (who departed the company before I began my internship) that I would be paid 250 USD / mo., receivable at the end of contract, which lasted 6.5 months. After I completed the internship, however, it turned out the company never intended to pay, even though I received a certificate of completion - the contract used a misleading (also - illegal under polish law) clause under which the company was only to pay out the renumeration after being (possibly!) hired for a further position, after a month of further employment. With the added knowledge after the fact from my lawyer, the following applies: the form of employment was mandate contract, under which, not only is the employer required to pay out compensation monthly unless EXPLICITLY stated, but if the term of contract is longer than one month, minimal pay applies (which was about 900 USD about that time in Poland). Thus, this conduct by Room 8 Group Poland was not only shady, but illegal. To add insult to injury, after receiving a request for payment from my lawyer (around August 22), the company deleted all archived internship offers stating "we pay" from the Dragons Lake internships website (archived by wayback machine - on 25 Aug 2024 - and some years previous, the offers are present, on 11 Sep 2024 they're gone). TLDR: I worked for a quarter of minimal wage, which wasn't even paid out in the end.

      Valuable experience in the toxic environment

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Despite facing issues such as poor communication, unprofessional management, and a competitive culture, working at the company offered a rare chance to gain experience in a unique environment. This challenging scenario was instrumental in developing resilience and broadening my professional perspective. The role provided valuable lessons that could serve well in future positions.

      Cons

      My encounter with this company was overwhelmingly disappointing due to a series of professional missteps highlighting a deep-seated problem in the organizational culture. From the onset, the company demonstrated a significant lack of clear and constructive communication. Messages were either delayed or wholly unclear, which led to confusion and an inability to efficiently execute tasks or make informed decisions. Unfortunately, the top management seemed to lack not only the necessary experience to guide the company effectively but also the professionalism expected at that level. Their approach was often misaligned with standard business practices and showed a disregard for growth and development strategies that are vital for a company's success. A surprising observation was the apparent lack of educational background amongst top management. While formal education isn't the sole indicator of capability, the gaps in foundational knowledge negatively affected their leadership and decision-making abilities. Another critical issue was the highly unsupportive and toxically competitive environment, which hindered collaboration and team cohesion. Instead of fostering a culture that celebrates joint achievements, the company seemed to pit employees against one another, leading to lowered morale and a lack of unity among staff.

      Toxic workplace with no real leadership at CEO level

      Pros

      Work from home. That’s the only pro.

      Cons

      Top 2 people don’t know games or how to run a business or how to motivate people. Put exec mgmt down in front of peers and team.
