      Would not recomend working there

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Junior employees are quite welcome - Several people there are extraordinarily motivated and talented - Management in Dublin is trying to improve the situation (but does not succeed)

      Cons

      - No long-term vision nor strategy regarding the Dublin office - Very opaque communication with HQ in Korea - Salary is low compared to how expensive it is to live in Dublin - Work often lacks general direction or meaning - Felt like many people's talent and energy were wasted - Felt like the Dublin office did not matter to HQ at all - No career growth opportunities

      Better not board a sinking ship

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Gaming company, rather casual environment.

      Cons

      No direction at all. New titles/projects being discussed all the time, almost none ever take place. Current games are either outdated (some even older than 10 years) and only kept alive to generate revenue or are just being re-released versions of (failed) Korean titles. If you enjoy video games, avoid this company as (senior) management displays a complete lack of knowledge when it comes to handling/publishing games or people/teams. You do not count as a valued member of the company or a team, you are merely a low level employee where no efforts are taken to retain any talent you bring to the company. Approx. 75% of the staff have left the company in the last 2 years, while hardly any new employees were hired, with the trend going downward.

      Pros

      Great diverse people to work with and always had lots of support from teammates when it comes to handling situations that needed second opinions.

      Cons

      Sometimes conflicts between departments would come up, which makes it hard to get things done efficiently.
