"For Gamers, by Gamers" - is a total lie!

Pros

- Free lunch. - Be able to purchase customer return gears for cheap. - No shortage of jokes...threats from managers become jokes after a while. - There are always hopes/dreams...because they are never true. - Make you realize that there are things that worse than what you experienced in the past.

Cons

- 70% developers don't even play game. Most people who do play games are supports, testers. You can't develop good software to work with "Steam games" if you don't have Steam installed on your machine...hello!!! where is the "For Gamers, by Gamers"? - Budget for research and development of new ideas is assuming $10 per month because by the time the required equipment get purchased, the project is canceled. - Long working hours with no compensation. - Spam emails for employees to vote on particular Razer product during a show is...lame. That means you are not believing in your own products.

Gaming environment

Pros

Free lunches, can game at work, yoga on wednesdays

Cons

They do not pay well for many positions. Teamwork does not seem to happen a lot here. Many are unhappy and the environment is a bit hostile especially when something is not done right. Some managers are not very pleasant to work with and do not encourage and train employees to do a good job. There really is not much training so be prepared to learn a lot on your own and if something is not done right don't be surprised if you get yelled at by the CEO. Also don't be surprised to hear a lot of swearing along with profanities in emails. Hours are 9am - 6pm so days can be long at times.

Cheap, Unorganized and Low-Balling Company to Work For

Pros

You get to work in the general vicinity of the gaming industry, I guess?

Cons

- Unorganized and unprofessionally run - Company is stingy in terms of raises, bonuses, reimbursements, company celebrations and other financial-related matters. - The CEO promises things publicly that haven't even been mentioned internally, then forces company to scramble to make it happen. - Certain high-level managers don't look out for the well-being of their subordinates on an emotional, financial or persona level. - Company is slow to hire and quick to fire - Company didn't even fire someone that was reported for sexually harassed a female employee - Company is based in Singapore so all other global offices follow their lead, resulting in 2AM meetings, long-distance bureaucracy and being heavily forced to fly places for in-person meetings despite us living in 21st century. - Company gives out swag all the time to internal employees yet doesn't offer any reasonable discount on Razer products (10% at most).
