Getting by on low-level talent

Pros

+ Great benefits. + Great co-workers. + Job security. This place has been around and will continue to survive in the educational-gaming niche.

Cons

- Pay is at the low end of the scale. - No room to grow. Office politics rule this place- if you are looking to move up it will take a large time investment that is not related to your actual job. - Work-life balance is tough to maintain due to working with India during the night and being in office during the day. - Lack of creativity. This company is interested in doing re-skins of existing products. - No mentoring or effective training. - Fast development cycles with a focus on quantity over quality. - Company model shifts multiple times a year, creating mix-up during development cycles. - General lack of game knowledge in upper management. This might be directly linked to why employees are paid how they are. - Passion is lacking. People don't seem excited about games here.

Pros

Good pay. Decent work life balance. Employee Benefits.

Cons

Very uninteresting work. Stagnancy in career. Games are not really games. Game play is very less and are full of things that the end users do not care about, like login, registration, in app purchases, ads, analytics etc etc. Emplyoees are expected to be complete owners of their work Very political atmosphere. Some in middle management are quite worthless, who keep playing whole day while the whole office slogs off, and push responsibility of botch ups on others.

Pros

The people here are really talented, nice, and friendly. Most of the employees has been working for them for more than 10 years. Fun and easy company culture with parties once every few months. Good work-life balance ( for most people)

Cons

Limited career growth opportunities. Pay and benefits are average. Moving most of the programming jobs overseas which reduced productivity and also the sense of job stability for the US employees.
