Pros

- There is a very close knit sense of family within the teams. People are always willing to lend a hand wherever needed and communication is always easy amongst the denizens working at the company. - The office offers a decent gym and most of the monthly events are enjoyable to a point. As mentioned before, the people are the highlight of this company. This is unfortunately greatly overshadowed due to how poorly they are treated.

Cons

Where to start? - Any sort of appreciation or acknowledgement for hard work or going the extra mile is entirely surface level. You'll get a "thank you" and "keep up the good work" with nothing else to show for it. - Your pay will start low and will remain low. The company pays well below the national average for many of its job postings. When prompting for a raise in your salary to get within range of that average you will simply be met with "we pay for the area". I joined below the bracket for my job title and with every promotion, I remained below the salary bracket for that title. - From reading through the other reviews and hearing horror stories from other ex-employees, it bears a striking similarity to turning around and watching a sinking ship. - While there is much more to say and many more cons I have, luckily, not had to deal with the inhumane treatment of the staff during the lock-down. I gladly wash my hands of this company and wish you all the worst.

Pros

On-site gym Decent canteen non-managerial staff are nice (if they are still there)

Cons

- Quick to get rid of people - Senior Management is terrible - CEO bullies employees - especially during global pandemics. Messaging employees with threats to return to the office. Sacking those that don't comply because 'shielding' or living with those that do, is not a valid excuse. There are many things that can be said about working here, and many that have already been said by reviews that have had attempts made to be discredited by an influx of overly-positive reviews. In my honest opinion, Intouch Games is probably a nice place to work depending on the managerial structure above you. Those in favoured departments seem to get on alright. However my experience was in the front end department, specifically Product QA. Where a lot of employees were either sacked for trivial reasons or threatened with private prosecution, without clear evidence of any wrong doing. A chunk of my department were told they were at risk of redundancy near the end of a busy week - no surprise they all took voluntary redundancy and walked out, never to return. I would suggest anyone working here or planning on it, do the same.

Pros

Occasionally you'll find some nice colleagues, and you'll get paid on time.

Cons

Where to begin with this one? Since COVID-19, this company appears to be scrambling, making cuts from every team and leaving those left behind as nervous as a Hunger Games character at a reaping - wondering if they'll be called into a meeting next. No department has been safe from the panic-trim the pandemic seems to have wrought, with cuts being made from the Art to Marketing departments and more. The lack of loyalty to it's staff alone in a time of crisis should tell you all you need to know. This company appears to not only overlook the staff it currently has by resisting promotions and pay-rises, but also sees them as replaceable - as evidenced by their always-open adverts and all-round attitude. Add in the CEO's aggressive messages to multiple staff-members on Slack threatening redundancy and/or firing if you're uncomfortable immediately returning to the office (despite health conditions), combined with the general attitude of some managers and teams, and you're in for one toxic and stifling environment. They try to lure you in with perks, but they're not worth it. The company has shown no attempt to support those that actually suffer with poor mental health, even when the workload is the cause and the issue is raised multiple times in 121s. All you'll get is a referral to a login on a poster for an app that is impossible to navigate and will only make you more stressed.
