Gazillion Entertainment Employee Review

Former Employee – worked at Gazillion Entertainment full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Fun atmosphere, nice offices, good location for commuters (in general).

Cons – At the time Gazillion was overambitious without the required experience to really make a AAA MMOG. So, after a long project, the one that the company was founded on, most people were let go. I can't speak to what was happened recently, and the management of the company has change greatly since I worked there (end of 2009).

Advice to Senior Management – Aggressively pursue the right people before starting a project in earnest. Keep any project in incubator mode until the vision for the game is solidified both technically and creatively. Keep the team as small as possible through preproduction because is a lot less expensive over time than ballooning up to a large team that doesn't really know what they are doing or are supposed to do. Don't reboot an entire project multiple times. Either cancel it early or take one design vision to its inevitable conclusion.

Or, in other words, learn from the mistakes made on Project Redwood, which hopefully you already have.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
