Pros

The idea and value proposition was nice when I was there. I had a blank canvas to open a new market.

Cons

2 years after leaving the company I was still waiting to get my bonus paid. They tried to make me think that they would pay me soon so that it went over 2 years and I could not legally claim my money. Fortunately I did not wait and they agreed to pay my money before trial.

Pros

- The product’s alright. But it doesn't hold up, especially with all the new gen-AI stuff going on in learning tech, but it’s still decent. Less than 50% of clients renew though, so you'll never make a bonus if you're in sales. - The company has a bit of a startup vibe. They hold “town hall” meetings here and there, where anyone can chime in, and connecting with other teams is actually pretty smooth. - The team used to be awesome, and the office vibe was great. Most of that energy is gone now, but sometimes you still catch a few good moments. Poor HR management. - The HR benefits aren’t bad; they offer things like flexible income plans and Fridays off. But be aware, the Fridays off depend on your manager’s approval, and they’ve really dialed it back over the last couple of years. - Their board of directors has a talent for posting glowing (and fake) reviews on Glassdoor. Great writing skills! Yet seem totally fine ignoring the fact that this place is on a downhill slide.

Cons

If you’re unemployed, keep going with the application. Otherwise, I’d probably skip it. This company used to have a solid foundation and ran pretty well from 2015 to 2021, but post-pandemic, things have tanked because of some bad calls from management. They will cut staff by 25% by the end of the year because of low revenue. If you’re looking at a sales role, just know that your responsibilities will switch up every quarter based on whatever the CEO decides, even if he doesn't totally get what you actually do day-to-day. They'll hype up the commission potential to justify the low base salary, but no one’s really making that big money. Last quarter, fewer than 10% of people got any bonuses, and even then, it barely hit €2,000. Expect a lot of micromanaging too. Managers are still pushing outdated stuff like cold calling and spamming LinkedIn, which isn’t exactly a vibe in 2023. They don’t go to industry events or seem to get what’s trending in the learning space. It’s honestly kind of rough. Lots of people have left after five-plus years because it’s just not good for mental health. AND they’re tied up in a bunch of court cases for not paying out severance and bonuses to current and former employees — and they've lost every case so far.

Pros

The product (3 games over The 30+ available) are OKish

Cons

I dont even know where to start with this so called "startup". It is - by far - the craziest sh*t show I have ever witnessed in my career. 0 onboarding, intense micro management, toxic culture, no strategy, HR policy that do not comply with the law...you name it! The CEO thinks is some kind of new Steve Jobs and awaits for his court of Middle managers to be amazed by his "strategic" décisions. The middle management is constantly pushing for KPIs they dont use except to steal the recognition of their teams and/or fire people to justify their lack of leadership/skills/work. The day I gave my 15 days notice will remains as one of the happiest day of my life. Bottom line: even if you are craving for a job, DO NOT apply. If you still do, make sure you are collecting all proofs of what is said/told and keep looking for a better job because whoever you are, you deserve better than this 🫶 If someone from Gamelearn "top exec" reads this: go to h*ll and while you're at it, take this group of useless tyranic C-suite of yours with you. This company is meant to bankrupt and the day it will, the world will be a better place. Cheers ✌️
