Pros

Strong reputation in the esports ecosystem

Cons

Toxic culture, weak leadership, no support or collaboration - No sense of unity or pulling in the same direction. I got made redundant, second restructure in 10 months and no one in Cologne had the decency to tell me why my role was made high risk - just informing me that my role has been made redundant after the restructure. Given the climate, it really lacked class. Overtly hierarchal and not in tune with employees needs.

Pros

Good start into the gaming industry and most people (minus management) are good people

Cons

The North America CEO is very toxic along with the higher management. I have never seen multiple people cry due to manager treatment. As a female who worked there I am appalled by how women were treating other women. HR was full of meetings that involved tears. Upper management would have venting sessions to say terrible things about everyone. Overworked with zero appreciation. North America CEO bad mouthed everyone and was never a pleasure to be around. She runs a fear mentality company and I can honestly say I left with some scars. Luckily for me I found my dream company right after and have never been happier and learned to never take that kind of treatment ever again. It was a very low point in my life, but I came out the other end and am very happy now and back to my positive mental state.
