Great potential, terrible management - Anonymous employee Wargaming Employee Review

Management in the Emeryville office is not qualified, and hired based on nepotism. The GM and HR/Accounting/Office manager have been friends since high school, however the HR/Accounting/Office manager was hired despite having no HR experience, not gaming or finance experience (though it is my understanding that the HR and Accounting responsibilities have since been transferred). The GM and Program Manager have been friends for 5+ years, and the Program Manager and Marketing Director have been friends for nearly 10 years, and the Marketing Director was hired because of these relationships despite having no gaming experience. This creates a comfortable environment for senior management, however there is no confidentiality amongst senior management, which is very difficult for employees and sometimes breaches of confidence happen because of these friendships.
