Pros

- No Pros at all

Cons

- People are being promoted and appreciated based on the art of boot-licking - Leaders are coming with zero experience of actual gaming background - If you're going from a gaming background then its not a good place to be at - If you're looking to grow, prepare yourself for boot-licking - If you're looking to learn, prepare yourself for self learning as there will be zero onboarding process aligned - If you're looking to upgrade your position by getting into firm, "Surprise Surprise" You will get nothing except of criticization. - Welcome to jungle with bunch of kids who are running the bench

Hello, thank you for taking the time to review Kwalee - we’re disappointed that you didn’t have a positive experience in your time working here. We’re proud to have a senior leadership team who have been hands-on programming games for their whole careers - it also gives us the drive to put fun gamemaking at the heart of what we do. We’re always keen to hear feedback to make sure that Kwalee is a supportive place for everyone to learn and grow in their career.

Pros

> Transitioning from a servicebased organization to a product based company has been a great experience overall. The work culture, team vibe, and working conditions are among the best I’ve experienced so far. > The workflow is well-structured, and I get to learn a lot through hands on experience, which has been very valuable for my growth. > Career progression here feels merit based and driven by individual competency rather than being dependent on year end cycles, which is highly motivating. > The workplace environment is supportive and engaging, making day-to-day work enjoyable. > The availability of snacks and drinks is a thoughtful perk that I hadn’t experienced in previous companies, it helps maintain energy levels and reduces time spent stepping out, improving productivity.

Cons

Given the relatively small team size, there can occasionally be periods of increased workload or crunch, but it is generally manageable and balanced out over time.
