Pros
* Relaxed atmosphere, great work/life balance * Lots. Like really lots of parties. Basically every 2 months there is a reason to gather together in a pub/restaurant * Good benefits. 100$ policy - no need in manager's approval to get something for work (headphones, phone case....) * Nice office. Grill on the roof, free beer in the office
Cons
* No-one cares about your skills. Promotions seem rather to be random or time based. Performance review cycle is a joke. You might not get a promotion, because you were "late" couple of times, even though you are doing 3 times more work than people around. This is an IT company. Quality and quantity of work should matter, not that you are 10 minutes late * Very often you hear: "We are a gaming company". You may ask HR: "Why average salaries here are below market level" or "Can we put developers on-call, so they are responsible for their code" - the answer is the same * Salaries are very below market. To get better salary, you, basically, need to bring an offer from another company * Management does not listen to you. There was a moment when "anonymous feedback" was collected in special boxes in the office. Many people put notes there, but there was no response. When people asked for it management answered: "Most of the notes were about food and drinks, so we do not deem it necessary to respond". * No food in the office
