Pros

- Excellent work-life balance and company culture - Mutual trust and respect between superiors/seniors and juniors - Open communication encouraged - Opportunities to work on different projects and types of work and art styles --- ranging from character art, props, UI, concept, marketing art, splash art (photo/3D bash), pixel art. - Hybrid office-home schedule (some fully WFH, some fully WIO, some hybrid, but that may change once the new office is acquired) - Opportunities for growth and leadership. Leadership courses are sponsored by the company if you express interest - Art team leaders and seniors are very nurturing and precise in their feedback, you feel motivated to produce quality work

Cons

- Team is small-medium sized; sometimes the 2D artists have to help out with tedious time-consuming tasks from marketing side like exporting banners, localizing many game assets, e.t.c. This is especially prominent after 1+ years of working. The jump from variety of tasks in the first year, to suddenly mundane tasks for months has been noticed amongst other colleagues with the same job title. But I understand that the team is not big. - The company's game portfolio (as of this review) might be morally grey to some.

Pros

- High level of trust and communication between colleagues. - Flexible WFH day of your choice (1 day per week, though it used to be 2 days prior to August). - Minimal OT except during certain crunch for industry-related events. - Great production pipeline that plans ahead to avoid crunch. - Competent production team! Team and leads usually set & meet deadlines without need for OT (except for special industry events). - Decent performance bonus depending on company performance, individual performance, and the economy - Great work-life balance! - Very understanding leadership at all levels and departments. - Opportunity to grow in career sideways rather than in an upward linear path depending on employee's strengths & weaknesses. - Recently started a company-wide Udemy Business initiative (minimum 12 hours per quarter to keep the account). - Decent group insurance policy (free GP consultation + medicine at select clinics, once a day)

Cons

- Benefits are ok, not much material benefits but that's okay because I'd rather take my performance bonus and the great work culture over material benefits any day! I like having the freedom to do what I want with money!
