This company and missed opportunities

Project manager

Business Outlook

Pros

The environment, when not facing strenuous deadlines concerning updates, patches, whatever, is very relaxed and the people you meet are wonderful. Basketball court, lounge, and beautiful beach view. Great place to make life-long friends and find people who are truly compassionate about their jobs and the games.

Cons

Leadership is addled and confused. They have no clue how to manage these games and are hindered even further by Nexon Korea. Meager pay. Harsh deadlines and late nights. No overtime. Some of the policies are for certain individuals only.

Pros

Basketball court Great, talented people, personal friendships and networking opportunities Safe neighborhood

Cons

Poor wages (do your homework when applying, there ARE companies that will pay you fair market value) Fail executive staff (aimless vision, no transparency, don't know what to do with the talent) Failing company (all the top talent has already escaped this sinking ship, while the remaining talent are avidly looking for new opportunities elsewhere). I've got a hunch the Nexon America office will be closed by Big Daddy Korea/Japan so they can focus on the asian market.
