Great Leadership from the CEO and CFO

I can not think of any

Absolutely, positively, irrefutably, doubtlessly, none.

-The whole hiring process feels very predatory and geared towards(if not founded on) preying on recent graduates naiveté. -Before you're hired they tell you you'll make $34k to $37k annually which is bizarre because its pays by the hour. Then you find out after you're hired you only make $13.90/hr and for the first 90 days its only $11/hr, try living off that. -When I was an employee there were only 4 people there that had actual industry experience outside of that company. Including the supervisors. -Your direct supervisors are HANDS.DOWN. the worst, most awkward and uncomfortable communicators I have ever encountered. -The pipeline is a maze of uselessness that even the director has very little idea about anymore. Once, our source files for one project were inside 37 empty folders in 3 different drives which served no purpose. -I timed how long it took to submit anything through the pipeline, it took 14 minutes for one single submission. - You're treated more like a child than a professional. - No benefits what so ever. - You never know whats going on with the company or a game, everything is very hush hush. - You are not allowed to have a professional website, personal projects, or work on your portfolio or put anything you've done for the company in your portfolio even after the game has been published.
