Pros

- No Pros at all

Cons

- People are being promoted and appreciated based on the art of boot-licking - Leaders are coming with zero experience of actual gaming background - If you're going from a gaming background then its not a good place to be at - If you're looking to grow, prepare yourself for boot-licking - If you're looking to learn, prepare yourself for self learning as there will be zero onboarding process aligned - If you're looking to upgrade your position by getting into firm, "Surprise Surprise" You will get nothing except of criticization. - Welcome to jungle with bunch of kids who are running the bench

Pros

> Transitioning from a servicebased organization to a product based company has been a great experience overall. The work culture, team vibe, and working conditions are among the best I’ve experienced so far. > The workflow is well-structured, and I get to learn a lot through hands on experience, which has been very valuable for my growth. > Career progression here feels merit based and driven by individual competency rather than being dependent on year end cycles, which is highly motivating. > The workplace environment is supportive and engaging, making day-to-day work enjoyable. > The availability of snacks and drinks is a thoughtful perk that I hadn’t experienced in previous companies, it helps maintain energy levels and reduces time spent stepping out, improving productivity.

Cons

Given the relatively small team size, there can occasionally be periods of increased workload or crunch, but it is generally manageable and balanced out over time.

Pros

Working at Kwalee has been a really positive experience for me so far. The company has a great work culture where people are approachable, supportive, and collaborative. As an AI Designer, I’ve had the opportunity to work on creative and impactful projects, which keeps the work engaging and exciting. The team members are friendly and always willing to help, which makes a big difference in day-to-day work. There are also regular cultural activities and events that make the workplace feel lively and inclusive, not just task-focused. It genuinely feels like the company cares about employee experience and team bonding. Another strong point is the creative freedom and trust given to individuals. You’re encouraged to experiment, share ideas, and take ownership of your work.

Cons

Like any fast-paced company, there can be times when priorities shift quickly, which may require adapting on short notice. However, this is manageable with proper communication and planning.
