Internal politics and poor pay. Avoid!

Pros

Work/life balance. Most employees do their 8 hours and go home. Good benefits. Decent vacation time, 401K match and health coverage isn't bad.

Cons

Horrible pay which is far below industry standards (think 50-60%). Cancelled bonuses and very poor pay increases. Nepotism. People are promoted based on who they know or are friends with, while others are never given the opportunities they deserve. More backstabbing and internal politics than Game of Thrones. Brain drain. All the best, promising talent are either quietly let go or leave to join other companies in the Bay. Those that stick around are the ones that are internally well connected and will never lose their jobs. Office culture is terrible. A lack of real leadership. Senior Management offer no real training or processes and no accountable goals, nor do they seem to care. Company is clinging to 1 IP for it's financial security, but those calling the shots are the ones killing the game.

Pros

Senior programmers were helpful and approachable, particularly during the first few weeks on the job.

Cons

The late work hours! Development workflow was constantly interrupted by office parties and "team bonding" activities, which caused JIRA support tickets to fall behind.

Hello, Thank you for your review. My name is Ralph, and I work closely with Wargaming Sydney’s local HR Team. I’m happy you’re able to work with engaged and intelligent people in the office. Unfortunately, we’ve seen that multiple employees find communication difficult across our different offices, and due to this input we’re actively working on the communication gaps across our teams. We’ve implemented a Gateway team that assists with coordinating production and development globally by improving communication between team leads. Additionally, we have increased our efforts to hire more international team members in key roles to ease communication between different offices which can reduce the communication gap for our Sydney teams. Your perspective has been very helpful and will allow Wargaming to improve our company and culture for future employees. If you haven’t done so already, please share your concerns and ideas on how we can improve communications with your manager. It will help to address issues as they occur and create more tailored solutions for the studio. Thank you again, Ralph
