Gameloft reviews

1/ Bad overall management, from the middle management, up to division, and top management 2/ Favouritism is strong in this one. You'll see this happen across all the QA studios. 3/ The company runs on a business model which allows it to hire inexperienced people on QA side. This leads to a high turnover rate, which consequently determines the management to treat the QA employees as a highly dispensable resource. Other: - Shameful salaries compared with the industry in Cluj-Napoca, even for its top performers - No raises until recently. The raises which are approved, are made without any solid base. If you're lucky you get one or see point 2 above. - Extremely few benefits. - Bad working hours . 10 AM to 19 PM. Seems ok, but in time you'll realise that your work/life balance is affected, nearly non-existent. - Working on internal tools which ARE using the latest technologies but which are not applicable in any other company. Basically you'll learn to use tools and gain certain skills that are useful only in Gameloft. This will be a disadvantage after leaving the company. - Overtime. You are not forced to do it but it will account to your overall evolution and evaluation. The managers and employees were badly taught on OT, and so you'll see 2 sides: a)The ones that love OT and are earning in accordance to their effort. b) The ones that hate OT and are fast to judge and label their colleagues who do OT. - Employee feedback and evaluation : Non-existent. - Employee appreciation : Non-existent. Don't expect a pat on the back if you do not go out for a drink with your studio manager, or you're not the super tester who saves the day everyday. If you're lucky you'll find managers who will appreciate your work correctly and will support you, but those are the exceptions. And the list can continue.
