Pros
The non-management employees are fantastic to work with. Most are artists and English majors who are truly passionate about video games and want to make their way up the ladder. For those stalwart enough to put up with this company, this is a great starting ground to gain some experience.
Cons
The management, particularly our parent companies in Japan and Korea, are incompetent and extremely short-sighted. It is mind-blowing how much they refuse to even attempt to understand the American culture and game industry. Over and over again our competent employees, who are rarely recognized for their ideas and knowledge, are shut down because management thinks that if it worked in Asia, it'll definitely work here. They think one low-level employee can do the work of two, and are often "offended" if their ideas are criticized. In fact criticism on major projects such as the recent website redesign is completely non-existent, even though they have a treasure trove of willing artists and aspiring engineers working their low-paying jobs. Speaking of pay, there was a mini-revolt recently! Some of our employees found out that the salary of recent hires was higher than those that had been working the same job for years. Management's excuse? "You wouldn't get the flexible work hours you do here somewhere else, would you?" There is no transparency in this company, only a lingering feeling of doom. Communication is at a minimum, if not non-existent most of the time. The language barriers are extreme, and our competent employees are always looking for new jobs. The only way to advance in the company is to be a buddy-buddy with management, which means taking up smoking. Those reviewers who rated this place high? They either had a position in the company that didn't deal with the games/management directly or knew to get in and out as quickly as possible. Rarely do people last more than 1-2 years here, and right now everyone is jumping ship.
