Pros

There are some great people who work there who are industry veterans that can pass on great knowledge. I started off loving the people and team that I worked for.

Cons

The only people getting promotions are men, I've seen women leave or be gradually forced out due to the heavy workload and politics. There isn't good growth for most employees and many departments don't have growth tracks. Upper management needs to improve their dialogue with the rest of the company and not sugar coat issues. It'd have been great to have them come to an all hands with plans on how things can be improved and fixed that all departments can act on. Nexon Korea is also flexing their power and starting to take over processes and influence games acquired, and I know that this has disheartened certain employees. There is also obvious favoritism from Leadership for certain departments over others.

Pros

If you love gaming, you'll fit right in. 401k match is definitely a plus. Many people who work there are actually very nice with a few bad apples in between . Overall, it's still a nice company just needs some improvements.

Cons

Toxic culture. Unexperienced managers. People don't get promoted or rewarded fairly for their contributions. Many people left because the company doesn't value their current employees and always hires people from the outside into leadership roles.

Pros

Costco snacks. Monthly free lunch.

Cons

Classic hierarchical culture. They don't care about proper processes or doing thing the right way. The few leaders only listen among themselves in an echo chamber. Product management doesn't exist and they actually refuse to hire product managers because they think they don't need it. Employees are moved laterally to fill positions they are not qualified for. I worked with someone who didn't know what they were doing, but no one cared because that person produced. As long as you produce something, even if it is poor quality, they will support it. Leaders will take your feedback and do nothing about it. Good luck trying to leave because the experience gained here is not valuable to future employers. They also like to fire and layoff employees on a whim without warning. PIPs don't exist. Hire and fire seems like a fun activity to them. If you don't believe any of this, I encourage anyone potential or current employees to talk to people who work there or message any former employee and ask about their experience.
