      The honeymoon ended quickly

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Young-ish environment, but this is fading Occasional movie days, where the group is taken out to the movies during work Occasional group lunches, where the group is taken out to a nice restaurant Mostly light-hearted, generally fun group of people to work with

      Cons

      Most non-managers seem to hate their jobs Greed and understaffing combine to burn-out engineers and require pulling all-weekenders Grueling schedules put together by those who count money rather than write code Very hierarchical structure, management lives in an ivory tower Expect to be underpaid by at least 20% Company is just breaking even, not profitable Games are reskins of one another, little creative thought Groupthink rules at meetings Instead of writing well designed games, a more hack-it-together approach is used, where patch upon patch is applied Not true software development, because no creativity, design, or ingenuity is needed when your job is to fix errors and "get it working" Try to trap you in during the interview with a small signing bonus that expires that day

      Glu Mobile getting glued

      Marketing assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you like the mobile gaming industry this is the place for you.

      Cons

      Glu I think is a company that had better days. Many things in Europe are based in London. Extremely inefficient for many things. Eg: You need ink for the printer in the Madrid office? You´ll have to call London and they send it from there.
