Pros

- just glad i decided to quit and move on - snacks

Cons

- everyone is checked out, including managers - forced office presence in the name of "culture" that doesn't help but affects your performance reviews - no meaningful work and they assign busy work so you look busy - favouritism in teams like product and hr - lot of competent people end up feeling disrespected and undermined and eventually quit or get fired - too much blame culture and they stack rank of employees which creates unhealthy competition. - it's acceptable to insult people by labelling them "low IQ". other comments are pretty harsh so i'll leave them out. - Not recommended for anyone who wants to grow.

Pros

Fun place to work that does not feel like work. Focused and dedicated founders that want you to be better and push you to be better in a great way. Friendly employees that are really good to work with. Productive and enjoyable both remote and in office. Working at Lila has greatly improved my skill. It has been a fun and excellent experience that I hope everyone in the gaming industry gets to experience!

Cons

Non off the top of my head. Maybe more chips in the snack area.

Pros

- Get to work on multiple pipelines (cause requirement kept changing) - Cross team exploration - Colleagues (90% of them have been fired so not anymore)

Cons

- No respect towards people - CEO is racist - Overworked- 56hours a week- 6 days a week and wants to implement 9-9-6 (which has to be illegal) - HR manipulates market study to low blow you - Management is not mature with decision making, PMs are not from Game Development background- They call shots and call it "logical" - Efficiency=Speed and not number of hours spent in office, clearly proof of your game not launching - Wouldnt recommend anybody to work under such a CEO with no vision of growth and stability, CEO is a tyrannt and weirdly keeps saying "I'm going to torture you to success". - Company had mass lay off cause budget cut with no product to make money in hand - CCO and CTO left the company, its just CEO and his 3 PMs making it work, not nice people to work with either. (Havent played alot of games to make games) - Missed out on basic of pre-production of game and directly jumped to making a game with no proper Game Directory for 4years and then canned the game.
