Pros

My review about the experience in the Games Division. 1. There are some great engineers, QA and game designers. 2. Remote work. 3. Interesting tasks and challenging projects from leading industry players.

Cons

1. Money comes first. Everything revolves around the Sales Team. In such a situation, it is hard to develop complicated technology products. 2. Terrible work processes. Service departments (accounting, HR, IT, etc.) work very slowly, have poor quality, and don't help. 3. Using people as resources. Constant pressure, often meaningless. 4. Lots of politics and toxic culture. Denunciations are encouraged, and you constantly need to make excuses. 5. The management doesn't understand how to achieve the goals, constantly changes the course and strategy. But you should be done everything yesterday. 6. Overtimes are the standard. And you won't be paid for them. "We are one team" and all this traditional nonsense. 7. You can't go on rest, because there is a constant rush. 8. Once you start to say about that and you will be branded as a toxic pig. 9. The "team" will immediately forget about you when you are fired for a few mistakes within a short period without any compensation.

Pros

- Awesome team - great for beginners - nice deadlines -interesting projects

Cons

- they pretend that everything is good in the company and spend tons of money on advertisement, showing how happy we are. It's good, cause studio can have more projects. But they never told that most of the artists earn 1000-1200. For those who fled from Ukraine to Poland its a very small salary. Also salary reviews were rescheduled on a half a year-a year with no reason and nobody was notified. - cancelled medical insurance for those who in Poland. cancelled English classes and promising to start them like a half a year already. But still hiring eng speaking employees and most of the meetings are in eng. LOL - the management is toooooooo bad. it takes ages to change something - check your taxed yourself, there's a possibility that they haven't paid all of them - when war just started, they paid salary earlier to everybody who asked and the amount was not smaller than 1000$ . Next month you had to pay the difference back xDDDD (yea, lots of artists earned less than 1000) - if you saying something against official company's opinion in the public channel in Slack - most likely you'd receive tons of hate and probably some "sweet" words from CEO. - hired a lot of Junior artist so the level of art decreased
