Poor treatment of employees

Pros

Very little to say that is positive about the company. Many of the lower level employees had good attitudes, that's about it, even though they themselves very much disliked working there.

Cons

Horrible treatment of employees. Production employees are typically required to work upwards of 90 hours per work (7 days per week required, never a day off). Effectively earning less than minimum wage. All employees make very little salary even for high responsibility positions. Turtle Entertainment America: Severely under staffed requiring unrealistic amounts of work per employee. CEO (America) has major behavioral problems.

This ship is sinking

Pros

Genuinely great coworkers. The people on the ground are fantastic humans

Cons

Management has zero idea what they are doing and communication/structure between global offices is truly awful/nonexistent. Lots of unnecessary people and middle management, virtually no job security. They may hire you ft and then 2 months later decide to replace you with contractors. Absolutely unpredictable company in an unpredictable market.

Great starting point for esports, very poor management

Pros

-A great stepping stone if you are wanting to get into esports or live broadcast. You will work among esports legends and produce amazing shows and content. -Has a lot of projects going for them and has great outreach to all avenues of esports and video gaming if that is what you are passionate about.

Cons

-No vision for the future of the company. Leadership will brag how the company is an Industry Leader even though ESL is not perceived as an industry leader by other esports players. It is perceived as a budget option that is quick and easy. -Very poor communication, and complete lack of middle management. There are executives, and there are grunts. No lieutenants, captains, or even sergeants. -Very low starting pay, unless you are an industry insider or an executive. The only way to increase your salary is by bitterly fighting for it. -Very low ratio of employees to project load. There are always multiple projects going on simultaneously, and some departments are stretched very thin. -Very low screening system for important positions. There are many young people who are eager to work in esports who get brought on. This in itself is not bad, but they get put in very important positions and become in charge of large projects without proper training or experience. -Very shoddy studio setups with unmaintained equipment. The largest studio has been using tiny flight cases since the start, and there is barely any room to operate. -Very high turnover rate. The best employees are continually going to better offers after a year or less. This is getting worse by the moment.
