Cons

- Loss of direction - Failed projects - Brain bleed over the years - Distance from downtown

Pros

The climate at Crytek is very special. It does feel like working with friends. Well, you won't find the "perfect" company. It just doesn't exist! But working at Crytek can be fun. They let you do your job. Never I had more freedom to be creative in my job. It was fun working at Crytek! I left because the salary issue they had and because my job was obsolete.

Cons

Communication was sometimes not very efficiant. Salaries are propably market rate, but low for Frankfurt area.

Pros

It was a very good experience. Projects are fun, co-workers are perfect. Even with late payments etc. I learned a lot for the future how to negotiate properly so It won't happen like this again.

Cons

Management is managing the problems, but not fixing them.

Pros

Crytek makes excellent games and the international team makes the culture interesting. The company is putting a lot of resources in VR which is exciting. -Very diverse team; the company recruits from all over the world -Passionate people who like what they do -Lots of freedom to try different things -Amazing-looking games and cutting edge tech. -Casual atmosphere

Cons

-Lots of crunchtime. Lots. -Executives are not good at communicating what's going on. -People don't know where the company is headed. There is no focus. -Sudden shifts in direction to projects which results in tight deadlines and crazy overtime. -Salaries seem lower than what most companies offer based on people I've spoken to. -More vacation time. Most German companies offer more.
