Top Review Highlights by Sentiment

Pros
Cons
  • "Low salaries(with promises of improvements 'soon')(in 20 reviews)
  • "Very low pay for an expensive city like London and no big difference in the pay between mid level and lead artists .(in 11 reviews)
  • "This is obvious from things such as senior management never playing or seemingly even caring about the actual gameplay, internal presentations being mostly about impressing with visuals as well as external marketing mostly trying to keep up appearances.(in 8 reviews)
  • "Especially those who are close to management, they will be protected.(in 8 reviews)
  • "Any decision will be done by comitee because remember, all decisions are done under the CEO so no one wants to take the responsibility of a decision that the people under the CEO won't like.(in 4 reviews)

    Pros

    The company has been silently pivoting away from work for hire and into full ownership and publishing of our games, it also almost doubled its size after the Tencent acquisition and there are multiple big projects in different stages of development

    Cons

    It can still feel that the company needs to find its footing processes-wise in some areas but trust on studio leadership is high
