Pros

Great place to start getting experience - specially if you do t have much. Flexible working hours. Amazing people working there!

Cons

They are a bit sexist and women's opinions are not considered there. If you don't speak Chinese, you will never have chances of being promoted.

We appreciate the feedback and glad that we have amazing people at IGG, but are amazing people usually sexist? The Senior Vice President of Operations and Chief Finance Officer at IGG are both female, and many of the decision making in our various departments are carried out by women, so we may have a different view as to what being a sexist is. As for promotions, we can admit that being able to speak Chinese will give you a bigger variety of job fluidity within IGG because our headquarters are in Singapore with our biggest branch located in China, but we can also ensure you that not being able to speak Chinese will not dismiss you of any promotion potential. If you have any more comments or suggestions, please email us at jobs.cn@igg.com.

Shallow company without any culture

Pros

Good salary considering the low cost of living in Fuzhou.

Cons

So much politics that it is impossible to have an impact whatsoever. Every decision about game development will eventually be taken by the CEO himself (in a publicly traded, 800+ people company, yes). You'll at first try to improve things then realize that this company hates change, and people are only concerned about keeping their jobs. About the location: the only reason IGG headquarters are in Fuzhou is because the CEO is from here, which means since this city is not attractive whatsoever (for both Chinese people and foreigners), the company is stuck with local people (which may or may not be the best at what they do). If you have the chance, just work from one of the other offices (Canada / US etc.), less politics and more qualified people.

Thank you for your feedback, and we would like to apologize for any poor management you have experienced at IGG. We will continue to improve and learn from our employees and the industry. We also understand that culture is created at its root. From the bottom up, all members of the IGG family must be dedicated and passionate about their work and IGG, this includes every branch of ours. As for the city you were working in, Fuzhou is currently becoming one of the main IT centers of China, which not only includes IGG, but also other companies such as OneMT and NetDragon.

Pros

- The employees are a diverse crowd with a strong sense of camaraderie. They're easily the best part of the job - The work is not very demanding and the hours are fairly flexible

Cons

- The management doesn't care about employees at all. The goal of a company is obviously to make money, but management is largely unwilling to invest its employees even to the degree necessary to help bring about this goal - There's little to no opportunity for career advancement here. When a new role is necessary, the company looks to hire from outside whether than promote long-time employees or give them the training necessary to fulfill the requirements - Benefits and compensation are severely lacking relative to other companies in the Bay Area - There's the occasional display of sexism and insensitivity from senior management. Part of this can be attributed to cultural differences, but even so, it's never been directly addressed or apologized for - Executive leadership is severely lacking. Management often pits various teams and departments against each other in ill-conceived efforts to produce better work from everyone - Modern forms of communication and engagement are poorly understood by the executive leadership. Social media is largely neglected or treated as an afterthought
