Pros

People are great. You're working on games.

Cons

HR is power hungry and doesn't want the company to continue doing things they don't think are "fun" (Happy hour, holiday party, Star Wars screening, etc.). Half the "perks" are gone. No more happy hour, no language classes, no quarterly town halls. It doesn't "feel" like a game studio. It's dead quiet, aside from some teams, half the company doesn't game. The games Nexon makes are super lackluster, unoriginal, and cash-grabby Work-life balance isn't great. BED BUGS! There are bed bugs in the office. Have been for months. No room for upward mobility. There is a very strict time guideline for when you can be promoted, even if you moved laterally from another company. You rarely get the opportunity to socialize outside of your team. Very cliquey. If you aren't "in" with the right people, you're going to have a bad time. Salaries are pitifully low. Everything is dictated by the mothership in Korea.

Pros

Nice coworkers and vibrant office environment. Cool working for a company that I play their games

Cons

Absolutely terrible leadership and management. Understaffed, overworked, projects mismanaged then staff gets blamed for their inconsistencies and mistakes when we had minimal say in the planning and implementation process.
