Pros

同事(非核心員工)非常友善且願意互相幫忙。 General staff members (outside the core circle) are friendly and highly supportive of one another, Maintaining great solidarity under management pressure.

Cons

- 有害的洗腦與個人崇拜文化: 核心成員(包括老闆本人)的核心工作並非指導專案,而是不斷在日常會議中言語吹捧老闆有多厲害、多偉大。公司花費大量寶貴時間在「警告員工不要反抗」,而非溝通工作進度或提供建設性的專業意見。 Toxic Cult of Personality: The primary function of the core members (including the owner himself) is not to guide projects, but to constantly stroke the owner's ego during endless meetings. An absurd amount of time is wasted on suppressing dissent and warning staff "not to rebel," rather than engaging in constructive professional alignment. -窒息式的微觀管理: 強制要求員工必須秒回通訊群組內的所有訊息,而當中包含與工作完全無關的雜務與私人分享,嚴重干擾正常工作效率。若未能即時回應,則會被說成不尊重不禮貌。 Suffocating Micromangement: Employees are forced to instantly reply to all group chat notifications, many of which consist of spam completely unrelated to actual work, severely disrupting productivity. - 毫無架構與專業製作流程: 公司管理極度混亂,核心成員並非用專業實力和管理才能去帶領團隊,而是靠幾個人在辦公室一唱一和進行精神施壓。管理層滿口歪理,習慣將自身的能力與管理問題,推卸並責怪給員工。 Complete Lack of Structure & Pipeline: The company operates with zero professional workflow or management competency. Instead of leading with expertise, the core clique relies on isolating individuals and lecturing them to enforce absolute obedience. Management routinely gaslights staff, shifting the blame for their own structural failures onto the employees.

Pros

-nice and supportive colleagues -nice seaview

Cons

-Boss had ambitious dream but lacked understanding of actual game development workflow. -Endless meaningless meetings almost every day with little actual progress. -Management spent more time blaming colleagues instead of giving clear instructions. -Constant changes in direction caused repeated redoing on the same tasks. -Expected instant replies at all times, otherwise the boss would become upset. -Boss loves K-pop idols. Employees were asked to perform K-pop dances as “game penalties” and were required to practice after working hours.

Pros

Colleagues are very friendly and supportive, except management roles

Cons

Worst management I have ever seen, only skill used is PUA. They will not give you clear instructions or guidance, but when you improvise, They will start judging and get upset. There is no actual game design and everything is just merely idea but they wouldn’t go into details. Deadline is about to due and everything will be catastrophic. There are no benefits, only snacks and drinks.
