Career Dead End - Anonymous employee Trigger Global Employee Review

- Unqualified Leadership: not much experience outside of Trigger, lack of vision, poor communication, poor attitude, disrespectful, blame employees when things don't work out. - Hire by misleading candidates. You will not be doing the job they promise you will be doing. - Trigger survives by hiring naive college kids that can be overworked and underpaid with little resistance - No career advancement : career ladder is non-existent here. The studio is run by a small group of guys that have been there forever and the rest of the organization is flat. There's nowhere to go with your career and the work you do there will not help you get your next job. One guy there has had the same title for over 3 years even though he was literally the only person in the department. - Hollow job titles: Job titles have no meaning here. They are just given out to give the illusion of structure to new applicants and visiting clients. Also so they can print business cards. Your real title is "art/programming/producer mule #x" - Most projects don't matter and offer only mundane work - low pay: Not horrible pay, but definitely below industry average by 10-15% - no equity & low bonuses (if any): CEO will constantly remind you to give your all for the company and expect overtime hours, but he will not share any of the company financial success with you. - Sweatshop culture: Be ready to work a lot of unpaid overtime hours. If you are a programmer, you will be there late almost every night. Heaven help you if you try to leave at a normal hour (7pm). Also, get used to receiving same day deadline requests at the end of the work day. - 10 days PTO that begins accruing monthly after 1 month probation period = good luck enjoying life with your family & friends.
