Pros

- Fun workplace and people - Some very technically skilled programmers - Opportunity to work on AAA titles

Cons

- Very few challenging tasks - Your work impact is very low - No technical trainings - You don't get to work on the important parts of the game, only leftovers. The best features are kept in Canada or France - Very low salaries and they are not open to negotiation - Management tries to manipulate employees with some lowly techniques, only sweet talk - Yearly performance evaluations are a bad joke. Very subjective, no real performance indicators - HR doesn't really listen to employees, doesn't really do anything for you after you're hired - Because of the salaries, most people leave after 1-2 years, leaving only a few seniors and a LOT of juniors

Pros

Remote work, free games. Good co-workers.

Cons

Horrendous pay, expectations of work absolutely unreasonable. Turnover rate pretty high, and instead of hiring new employees, just had the remaining team take over the work that required like 10+ employees. Then after requiring 200% productivity to make up for the lack of a team, complained about teams.
