Pros

+ Nice work & life balance + Promoted easily based on senior relations + Nice people. Most ppl have good work attitude + Biggest game company in Singapore or Asia + Nice studio of friends (Junior to mid levels)

Cons

Unclear direction on game strategy which often led to conflicting priorities Senior Management had trouble acknowledging ownership or committing to new directions Very top-down or laissez-faire style by leaders which prevented honest conversation about problems Lack of coordination across functions due poor organizational designs Inadequate leadership time & attention given to talent issues (usually ignored or dismissed) Employees feared of telling the senior team about honest inquiries or opinions. (based on former employees being reprimanded or wrongfully dismissed) Observed long-term, loyal employees being overlooked by alliance relationships with Seniors (French) Very unclear career development Low salary High turn-over (3-5 employees left a month. Unannounced, terminated or resigned)

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.
