MZ Employee Reviews about "hour"

Pros

but unfortunately not in the good sense very good review writers writing good reviews with all the empty words; games are making a lot of money ok benefits and pay

Cons

very unique mandatory working hours of 10AM to 7PM within silicon valley very unique hire-and-fire recruiting practices very unique management who claims as a technology company but does not understand technology. very unique reorg all the time (some team change leadership 4 times within a year - the DP team is one example). very unique chaos where most people don't know where they're going

Pros

All the typical start up perks - free food and snacks. They serve three meals a day, though of course if you want dinner you have to stay very late.

Cons

Below market pay, completely broken processes that are only focused on short term gain, no consideration of people’s time - they will call you at all odd hours of the day and demand you work then too. If you have a family forget about seeing them during the week.

Pros

Free Food and casual dress

Cons

Part of the new hire packet and orientation is to do a review on Glassdoor on your first day, after they give you a swag bag, and tell you about the free food and massages. All this means nothing once you are sucked in. Insane hours, Culture issues, Very High turnover, unpleasant PM's, Leaderships hands too clean, quick to through workers under the bus. Way to many meetings with no real work. Fast pace??? Not at all my experience. Long hours are based on lack of leadership You will be shunned if you don't eat lunch with your team everyday. Compensation is not worth a miserable work environment.

Pros

1) Lot of room for self improvement 2) Tons of benefits 3) Flexible working hours 4) Best colleagues to work with

Cons

1) Expanding a litter bit too fast, and so many new faces in the office. 2) Some office supplies are always taken by some employees 3) If you expect that you can just work for 1-2 hours and relax, then probably it is not the company you are looking for

Pros

-Lots of cutting edge tech -Interesting and fulfilling work -Smart people everywhere -Ability to learn new -Compensation packages can be quite good. Though can sometimes be out shined by the big names in the area -If you like to be challenged, apply here. If you rather work for a company that moves slowly whenever it makes a decision, lets you desk jocky and collect a paycheck without much engagement, don't.

Cons

-Long-ish hours, this is a con if you require strong work life balance. Of course more flexible hours would be great. But being in tech, and being on call comes with the territory. Techops also is allowing more flexibility now, which is nice. The main issue is the commute for many can add hours to the day. The base days are standard 8 (9 with lunch) -The 'game' is not great from a gamer perspective. Though in the end, that's not what is at the core of what we do. Con if you care.

Pros

- Free food(pre-pandemic) - Some really nice people to work with and spend long hours at the office with. - They pay really well.

Cons

- Horrible work-life balance: Expect to be working 50-80 hours a week if you are a part of the Design, Analytics, Live Operations, Product Management. You should also expect to be asked to cancel your time off, and be frowned upon if you refuse to do so. - Extremely fast environment that focuses on reactionary tactics rather than solid planning and execution. Expect for plans to change every single day MULTIPLE times. This will increase the amount of errors every team makes and lead to a lot of post-mortem meetings that could have been avoided. - Volume over Quality: If you're passionate about making GOOD video games, don't come here. They will make promises to you about your opportunities to build out and rebuild games. If you still aren't convinced, require your demands be written in your contract. They will refuse. - Micromanagement: The everything needs to go through the CEO, even your time off requests. Team leaders have no say in how their team operates and Executive Producers dictate every single thing you do. That's not to say the Executive Producers are bad, they have to deal with the CEO looming over their shoulders at all times. Expect to be contacted on your days off. - Discretionary Time Off = You're less likely to actually take time off. They say there's no limit to how much DTO you can take off, but HR keeps tabs on people the moment they've taken more than 40 hours of DTO.

Pros

Lots of Perks Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Cons

Long Hours and Weekends Occassionally (always crunch time) Little Autonomy Too many 'cooks in the kitchen'

Pros

-Lots of hard-workers (poor performers are usually eliminated pretty quickly in this environment) -Learned a lot -Great Pay

Cons

-Long workLong workLong work hours (expect phone calls in the middle of the night) -Toxic Culture (due to long work hours) -Short-term gains over long-term growth -High turnover rate... especially with middle management... -High burnout -C-level wants you to treat them like 'family' while they treat you like cogs in a machine, expect you to give up vacations and holidays to work -If you favor a work-life-balance (even if you are hard-working) you are seen as not a team player

Pros

Hands down one of the best engineering team in the valley. Good learning experience and personal growth. You get to work on fun projects.

Cons

Not sure. My back hurts from time to time and there are times when you're not sure if your 12 hour working days are being appreciated. All in all I've seen much much worse.
