- Very low quality top management, two guys that think they know everything (game design, marketing, agile methodology etc.) but their results are close to disaster. Even so, they micromanage almost every single aspect of the company. - Although they claim it's a startup you can meet more rules and regulations than in an old corporation - They fire or force to leave any other manager or good employee to explain their incompetence in front off other or the board - The freedom of thinking is quite limited, you are forced to satisfy not the final customer but the top management - New products pr new features are decided based on what the top management likes not what the market needs

Unfortunately there is a long list: Currently the company has some issues (the project they developed in Madrid hasn't reached the expected results after two years of development so they laid off people, cut off English classes and other benefits. Even if the COO pretends to be experienced, the products development stages are not following classic steps (competition benchmarks, adding innovation factors, there is no GDD etc.). Also he is not defending the product in front of CEO and he never really knows to estimate technical tasks. Both COO and CEO think they are experts in marketing so that no person in that department resists more than 6-8 months. The same they are ''very good'' game designers so if you are not acting as they say you're free to go (the results about how good they are can be seen in the very low retention the project they did have).
