Everything wrong with game dev industry - Anonymous employee CI Games Employee Review

A real top-class developer. I do not know where to start, I will mention it in points. - Incompetent management - A group of "Western specialists" who have no idea what they are doing. Lack of process knowledge, lack of knowledge of the market, zero involvement in the project, guilt shifting, avoiding responsibility, cronyism, creative processes resembling discussions about games in the school corridor. - Blatant discrimination against employees of non-Western origin - Poles are treated in the company as cheap labor. - Wage inequality - Western workers earn several times more than Poles. The ratio of the cost of living to earnings is used as the main reason for refusing pay raises which would make sense if it were not for the fact that this principle only works to the disadvantage of the worker. Workers moving from Lithuania to England are not entitled to an evenly matched rate. Profit share - a profit-sharing program that may seem hard to turn into something negative, but CI Games managed to do so. They turn out to be much lower than initially announced. Additionally, management explicitly uses this program to account for under-wages by adding it to annual earnings. In fact, it is the extra amount that the employees give away from their monthly salaries. Also, I would like to mention how the management treats people quit. The second somebody fills in his resignation they are treated like they become contagious, they get deleted from all the calls, mailing groups, and meetings, etc. They fire people without even telling others that somebody was fired. Me, personally, I was not contacted once by anyone from the management when I filled in my resignation. The company in 2017 already had a scandal related to mass layoffs. This time the employees are smarter and they go away seeing what is happening. There is a mass escape in the company, several dozen people have become vacant in the last few months, and I would like to remind you that this is a company that employed a maximum of 50 people.
