Pros

Great people to work with. The company overall sets employees up with the tools needed to get the job, this includes software and hardware.

Cons

Upper management don't take the opinions of people below them very well, or very rarely into consideration. No guarantee of long term employment if you are on a game title that is canceled or is no longer published by Nexon.

Pros

You get to do 5 times the volume of work of a normal job, so you genuinely learn and practice heavily. I do not even mean this sarcastically. I've stayed here as long as I have because I get to practice my craft thoroughly. It's definitely not a slow job. The work you are doing (depending on how much you like your department) is rather fun. This is probably the best part of the company. You're doing fun work. The Nexon America division isn't Blizzard or Riot big, but it's still Nexon, which has weight in the industry. Also, other companies seem to know how hard you are worked at Nexon and respect you more for it. Interesting pro, but true. Only work here if you need gaming experience to go somewhere else. And do not need a lot of money at that time in your life. I'll explain below.

Cons

The company is trying to make it seem like it is improving, but it unfortunately isn't. Culturally, we just aren't going to get there. That's why I'm writing now. Because I thought it was going to get better. And it's gotten worse recently. Large volumes of negativity, very little positivity. Below low compensation. And that tends to be after asking for more. Executives are extremely controlling and do not have your interests in mind whatsoever. You are basically work mules in their eyes. Very little mutual respect. As said before, you are overworked. Heavily. The company is set in its ways yet you see all of their employees desperately trying to bring new life to the titles, and are almost always shut down.
