KingsIsle Entertainment Reviews

Pros

- room to grow -tenured team

Cons

- tenured team is sometimes set in old ways (but that’s improving )

Pros

Fun games, good co-workers. Team members would give me and my children unlimited crowns, membership, and spellements.

Cons

I had multiple instances of Executives & Community Managers eating a lot of ice cream in front of me and making comments about my race which made it really hard to concentrate on my work. Every time they came into the break room and started eating it in front of me I had to just try to ignore them, but it was extremely difficult.

Pros

I wore so many hats that studios were fighting for me when I started applying for other jobs - not exactly a pro, but I guess I learned a lot.

Cons

-I literally had to work while I arranged funeral services for two of my family members. This is one of those studios where unlimited PTO is a joke because 1) you're always on even when you're off and 2) you have to schedule your PTO around when you know people aren't going to be able to function without you. I got Teams messages at 6 AM and 7:30 PM on the same days for non-emergency issues. -The pay is an absolute joke to start with. Then they give you more responsibility dangling small raises in front of you that you never get. -C-level is spineless. They'll let you take their hits to save their own butts and then apologize about it in a private Teams message later. My department was called "BS" in a company-wide meeting. The commentary was never shut down just followed by further bashing. There were no repercussions. This stuff happened so often to my dept and others. -Still hasn't hired backfill from the acquisition... Over a year ago... Teams have been without knowledgeable management and hands to help with the workload for over a year. We've been left to drown. I was told, "I know you're working over 40 hrs a week." Okay if you know that then solve for that. There's so, so much more, but you get the drift.

Pros

Easy schedule and great benefits

Cons

Not many cons for working at kingsile

Pros

My coworkers were good people.

Cons

One of the most boring jobs I've ever had.

Pros

The people you work with are great, the atmosphere is comfortable, it's a happy place to work.

Cons

You make about 50-60% what you would for the same title at another company.

Pros

Located in a great area.

Cons

There wasn't any real incentive to work harder. I did not find myself wanting to move up within the company.

Pros

Alright work environment and people.

Cons

One has to wonder if anyone is even interested in competitive game balance or content with a shred of innovation. Lack of creativity is suffocating.

Pros

Friendly team and many company events

Cons

There is no big issue

Pros

Decent pay and benefits lack of crunch Friendly relaxed office but also mature and professional Cheese Day

Cons

Extremely risk averse and metric driven Most employees are just collecting a pay check Promotions are based on seniority rather than merit, therefore many senior positions are filled by people who have little experience outside of Kingsisle or no leadership skills.
