Great People, terrible HR and Upper Management

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great Industry Entry: Excellent for gaining initial experience in the gaming sector. - Varied Clients: Work with a diverse range of clients and projects. - Talented Colleagues: Collaborate with skilled artists and producers. - Fast Learning: Strong learning opportunities to quickly develop skills.

Cons

- Terrible HR Practices (being generic): HR is incredibly unresponsive and dismissive, showing little to no genuine concern for employee well-being. They are primarily focused on numbers and creating a positive image for themselves and the higher-ups, rather than actually supporting the staff. The communication from HR feels like a series of insincere LinkedIn-style platitudes. When real issues arise, they often ignore employees or give vague, non-committal responses, deflecting questions to managers to buy themselves time. Their approach is passive-aggressive and unhelpful, making it clear that they view employees as expendable rather than valuable members of the team. - Lack of Transparency: Company decisions are often vague, leading to low levels of trust. - Minimal Employee Support: Long-term employees aren’t valued when facing issues; HR treats everyone as replaceable. - No Transport Assistance: The company provides no financial support for commuting expenses. - No Remote Work Compensation: There is no reimbursement for extra electricity costs incurred while working from home.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Gives Juniors opportunity to enter the industry - Also scope to grow within the company - Competitive junior salary - Good tech and health support schemes

Cons

(based on my experience a while ago. May be outdated) - Poor organisation - Lack of management - Not enough support for production - Leaves a lot of promices unfulfilled - Artists tended to get the blame, or be the victim of fixing issues caused by poor management, lead to crunch in multiple instances.
