Gazillion Entertainment Reviews

Pros

Super passionate employees, strong executive leadership, fun work environment, catered lunches and employee activities/outings. The people at Gazillion really care about each other- this is truly the first company I have worked for that feels like one big family. There is a lot of opportunity to grow and learn here. Everyone works as a team, and new ideas are not only welcomed, but encouraged.

Cons

Foster City is a bit of a commute from the city. Aside from that, I really don't have any complaints.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing! It's really exciting being part of this new direction that the company is taking. The town halls have been really helpful with keeping everyone on the same page.

Pros

Some of the best coworkers I've had the privilege to create with.

Cons

Job insecurity was always a fear.

Pros

Great people, lots of focus on doing good work

Cons

It didn't last long. I was only around less than a year before the company ended

Pros

The game was fun and had potential.

Cons

Too many to concisely list, sunk by those at the top.

Advice to Management

Its been said before, there was just too much wrong with our CEO, who brought the wrong kind of attention to our company and led to its demise.

Pros

Everyone was great excepting very senior management.

Cons

Doesn't exist anymore, company closed in Nov 2017.

Pros

They have snacks and bring in lunch a few times a week. Some of the employees are incredibly professional and pleasant to be around, let's say 80%. I'd even say a few of them are genuinely talented. These are truly the only two good things I could consider "Pros".

Cons

There's one review that likens the negative experiences working at this company to ordering food and not getting ketchup on the side or something nonsensical like that. This person, like many others at this company, are the sole reason it's terrible. It's become a cult of "well, sure they ask us to work 60+ hours a week, but we get to go to movies and put toys on our desks!" That doesn't at all make up for the toxic...

Advice to Management

Sweeping terminations should be completed at the upper management level; no one at that level should be left. Worst case; make managers with anger issues go to counselling or give them walking papers. No one should feel nervous or hesitant to enter an office they have to work in as much as you expect them to with that on their shoulders. Advice to the current CEO; learn who your employees are, not just the ones you...

Pros

dynamic environment, great for young people with interest in gaming industry, free ordered lunched (Tue and Thu)

Cons

Need to be available all the time when the dev team working

Pros

a good place for non-honors degree holder to start out at. Being a small company, gazillion would hire most people with a pass degree

Cons

Extremely unfair and long work hours for artist. Artist work for about 10-15 hours/day while engineers work for about 5-10 hours/day, very different from other companies in the same industry. Poor management consist of people who are fired from bigger companies like activision,riot,EA,ubisoft

Advice to Management

Please review your decisions and not make the same mistake that caused you to be fired in the first place
