Com2uS Reviews

Look, I know this will come off like the ramblings of a bitter, over-worked employee, but honestly? I consider this an unbiased overview of what it's like. Did I put much stock in Glassdoor reviews before I accepted a position here? No, but I wish I had. If I had a friend ask me for my honest opinion, this is what I'd say: Culture is exactly the opposite of what you'd think a gaming company in Southern California might be. Almost militant (as in, you have to eat lunch at a certain time...is this a North Korean boarding school?). Hours are poor, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. You think "hey, that's nice, I can sleep in..." but honestly it's worse to have to be in the office until 7 p.m. each day. And it's not even like you work in finance and are working hard...people watch the clock and essentially clock out as if you're in a factory. Work-life balance is incredibly hard to maintain if you're consistently in the office that late. Echoing other reviews, the cliques are...impressive. There are clear favorites and folks are held to very different standards. Some people will be terrified if one time they're going to be a minute late due to traffic and feel the need to alert their manager while apologizing profusely, while others will consistently roll in 30 minutes late each morning. Honestly, it's hard to explain why this is, but as someone else said, SOME PEOPLE WON'T EVEN SAY HI TO YOU. Isn't that standard courtesy, you get on the elevator with a co-worker, or you pass them in the hall in the morning, you say "good morning" or "hi" ? The company has a tendency to promote from within. In theory, is a good thing right? Not if the people are promoted into positions they're unqualified for. Or transfer into different roles that make you question the decision making based off their skillset and background. Company culture is to...not answer inquiries? Like people don't answer their emails...or will not respond at all in the knock-off Slack? How is that an acceptable business practice? An absolute complete disregard for customer service. This company goes out of its way to not deal with customer inquiries and complaints (of which there are many). They will straight up ignore you. Opinions and ideas are not exactly welcomed. The ones who succeed are the ones who learn to glom onto key phrases and parrot them back. This is not a place that encourages creativity or appreciates new ideas. Decisions are made based off what competitors have done. You'd wish the company would grow a pair and make its own decisions based off the experiences and expertise of it's people but no...legitimately "what have the competitors done?" or "company X did it this way" is a common refrain. Super weird but during the lunch break people....sleep at their desks and in random parts of the office. If I were a client walking in for a meeting and saw that, I'd be horrified. Culture of blame. No ownership for decisions. The one time someone stood up and essentially took one for the team? They were let go. After a round of military style interrogation and questioning. Like, called people in one at a time to see if their stories matched up. One of the more exciting days there but in a "WTF just happened?!?!?" kind of way. A horrid lack of internal communication. The only way most of the company finds out people have left is when the HR person removes their name from the all staff chat. Possibly the least diverse environment possible. Yes, it's a Korean company so language is a factor but yikes. Tough to see how anyone can succeed or advance if not fully fluent in Korean. Everything is dictated by headquarters in Korea. Management in the U.S. don't seem to have any authority. So much inefficiency in how the company is run. Need approval for like a $10 client gift? Needs approval from not only your manager but also from the company president. Exec team should not be wasting their time on stuff like that... It's not like this is a company that's doing something horrible like poisoning the only clean source of drinking water. But at a certain point, you have to ask yourself, "is being here worth my time?" And it's tough to say yes.

- Depending on your team and job, work hours might be horrific. I was getting physically and mentally sick and I never knew how much this place affected me. - I heard that pay got better but when I was there, pay was very very low. Barely enough to survive in LA. - Management and employee need to go through different training. People complained about how poor management was but I also had and heard about terrible experience from employees as well. People need to learn professional boundaries and should be held accountable for their actions. - HQ in Korea is too controlling and their expectations bleed into the company negatively. - Culture became very negative for a lot of different reasons.
