Bureaucracy and favoritism

Pros

Great work environment. Upscale new office and it feels great to have everything readily available. Probably one of the best in Seattle DT area.

Cons

Scheduling is poor due to the heavy favoritism that the company is well-known for. Only a handful employees form a group, and it's all about their private party. It's hard to believe, but those managers still can survive while not producing any meaningful results for past several years. Many have frustrated and left, or got asked to leave because they didn't listen to the group.

Going to provide a real review, not faked ones

Pros

Lots of responsibilities and fun to be in the games space, work on interesting tech from time to time and able to work with designers and artists in a creative way.

Cons

After seeing a lots of fake reviews I definitely want to jump in and write a review myself after leaving the company voluntarily. CEO valued backend engineers as pure overhead, and used different ways to threatened to fire if you even want to leave for a few hours on the weekend during crunch hours. After all the effort of shipping there is no reward or advancing, but simply redo the process again.

Great acquisition, but probably with a painful future ahead.

Pros

Z2 was chosen by King for their latest acquisition. Big celebration!

Cons

The acquisition might feel sweet but the history will repeat itself with another ruthless layoff in near future. Several employees already evaporated, and probably there's more to come. This also means strengthening the sheer nepotism and blatant disregard for the underpaid employees. In order to survive, you either have to be in the circle, or miraculously "be like Mike (Jordan)". Favoritism and sudden org changes should not be overlooked to maintain the Z2/King brand.
