Pros
- You'll work with some incredibly smart engineers. Most are pretty down to earth and happy to help when you need it - Great location in the middle of town - Free lunch and breakfast, and a well stocked snack cupboard - Comp is towards the upper end of London
Cons
- Strategic direction takes months to develop by senior management. Management will disappear for all day meetings with little to no input from the wider business. - Operational process is painfully slow and grinding. Expect decisions which should take weeks, to take months here. - Although staff churn is low, company is unwilling to accept or learn from historical mistakes from 1-2 years ago which led to departure of senior staff. - CEO seems unclear on company culture. Says he wants to move the company to be more mature & serious, but then insists on filling company strategy presentations with pictures of Transformers and memes. - CEO is a micromanager, and often changes mind at the last minute for no justifiable reason, holding up months of work. - C-suite has a habit of bringing in senior hires to help ease growing pains, but them completely ignores their advice. "Old hands" seem to have a veto over seasoned advice. - Questionable reputation in the games industry.
