Pros

Great team members that are passionate about the work and take care of each other. They are trying to expand by getting more Western developed games.

Cons

Controlled by Korean overlords both in Korea and in El Segundo. What games to publish, game updates, and development are all heavily dictated by the whims of the Korean office and their higher ups. Constant change in both upper management and organization/teams. Commitment to Quality is a goal that is preached but rarely obtained. Its hard when a massive MMORPG has 1 or 2 QAs dedicated to it. Compensation is not up to market for most positions. Not even close.

Pros

Some decently talented people, though fewer each day A place where a person can learn and do multiple jobs The base pay is good Nice office Fun co-workers Good place for someone starting out in a career in games

Cons

Production schedules are too aggressive The game lineup is dated Nexon has a negative reputation among gamers and the industry Lack of institutional or learned knowledge transfer due to high turnover Bad place to work for senior skilled people who want to advance into more prestigious companies It has the same general issues that most games companies do that have a HQ in Asia. The people who are brought in to make Western business decisions are not empowered to make those decisions
