RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Gameloft full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Gameloft is aware that they need to be hyper competitive both structurally and creatively to be the top player in the industry. Since the Vivendi acquisition, it appears that all teams across the organizations are given a flexibility and ownership to improve. As for my team, we're growing and improving our efficiency and effectiveness since the management change.
Cons
Communication still feels distant perhaps because it's a big company with a lot of bureaucracy. There also needs to be clear vision and directions from the C-level to dictate a plan that moves this company into the next decade.

Pros
Game designing level updates is given more freedom of direction compared to proposing new games. For every update, I look forward to the brain storming / idea presentation meeting which involves bouncing off ideas with key talented people in the gaming industry.
Cons
The work environment itself although fun can be toxic. Training for technical skills are plenty but training for process improvements or management for leads are lacking.
Advice to Management
In-house training is needed to standardize work ethics for all employees, especially the new employees.

Pros
Colleagues are one of the best and most talented people you can work with. Even now that I no longer work at Gameloft, I still keep in touch with them.
Cons
HQ managers make hasty decisions and change their minds along the way. They don't follow schedule and it causes a lot of wasted time and effort. Doing overtime for something you know might not be needed down the road can be very discouraging.
Advice to Management
Assign someone qualified with vision to do the creative approvals so that the idea is visualized and not based on just anybody's mood.

Pros
Work culture is great. Everybody is open-minded even to opposing point of views. I really enjoy our meetings because of this.
Cons
All decisions go back to the mothership (HQ) for approval and without that approval, you cannot proceed. In fear of committing insubordination, I've seen this system cause delays on what could have been a smoother workflow.
Advice to Management
Delegate decision-making. If more people have freedom to their ideas, it will help provide a more diverse game list.
