Not recommended for engineers. - Senior Software Engineer PlaySimple Games Employee Review

- they recently opened esop buy back window where no one can actually sell their years of vested stocks. Their all employee retention strategies are based upon upfront lies - no innovation at all. They directly implement features of their competitors and have no intention to move beyond word gaming genre. - make no mistake, this company’s only focus is on businesss and business alone, no one cares about engineering, not even engineering managers - full of freshers. company is a hub for jaypee college. They hire only 6-month interns from 1-2 more colleges to save money because of which everyone here is inexperienced. They haven’t visited any other college in at least 2 yrs - the work overall is sooo repetitive that your learning curve stops after 1st month itself, whichever team u join - WLB of devs is absolutely terrible. They are tensed and under pressure all the time because of which it’s common to work on weekends. Midnight releases are common - Before covid, there was barely any outing or celebration at all. Company is happy ordering donuts and brownies on reaching major milestones - no career growth for engineers after like 2 months - My manager .. oh boy .. where to even begin lol .. - he has no knowledge of things, tech stacks, problem solving skill, he’s happy micro managing every single task and then talks rudely when some bug appears. - Doesn't have the basics of empathy towards employees that a decent human being would have. - has no vision for what’s supposed to be done - no leadership examples to learn from - no values in general to learn from - politeness depends on his personal mood - tell him how boring and dull work is and he’ll spend next 3 hr to prove you that it’s the coolest work you’ll ever have in your life - It’s a core responsibility of a manager to focus on his employees career growth. Not here. nada - in office, he'll constantly ask for work progress every 2 hours even though you tell him in the morning scrum everyday! - nothing is streamlined, deployment, testing, releases, you have to micro manage every single thing that doesn’t directly bring in revenue - has no interest in expanding tech stack even when use cases exist, coz again, they don’t directly bring in revenue - ideally managers are supposed to give ownership to the team. Here the manager has no idea who owns what. Needless to say someone like this doesn’t give a fair hike. You get the same salary that others of same experience as you get, so it doesn’t matter how hard you work or ownership you take. You’ll never be rewarded. - sooo many lies during appraisal (only you’re getting this hike and blah blah) - when you want to discuss with him about your colleague's career, he'll tell you upfront "none of your business". No one deserves such a manager :) - the co-manager has no shame in asking people to work on weekends. He'll call you personally if you don't reply him within 10 mnts.! - overall reason you should join this company.. if you want decent salary while being emotionally and mentally exhausted every day and do not want any career growth - the work is not worth it, the people are.
