LAI Games Reviews

-Long-term vision and strategic direction feel inconsistent or unclear. There is a lack of cohesive, forward-looking planning. -Compensation is well below market standards for comparable roles, even when factoring in the niche/legacy nature of the industry. Pay does not consistently reflect the level of skill, output, or cross-functional responsibility expected from employees. -Repeated investment into oversaturated or poorly validated markets, often with underdeveloped execution plans. -Projects are frequently pursued without full commitment or proper resourcing, leading to reactive decision-making. -Resources (time, budget, inventory) are misallocated, with capital tied up in products that do not move effectively. -Employee growth, advancement, and long-term development are not prioritized in a meaningful way. -Layoffs or role cuts appear to be a downstream effect of earlier strategic missteps rather than external necessity. -There is a pattern of “winging it” after significant investment has already been made, instead of disciplined planning upfront. -High-level decisions do not always reflect feedback or insights from teams closer to the customer or execution layer.

1. A lack of direction at the executive level, mostly knee jerk reactions rather than a long term strategy. 2. High turnover, we had some really good people and most left. 3. A culture of hidden fear that is masked by surface layer employee feedback structure. 4. Mediocre pay at best, bonuses are rare, planning in product development is non existent. 5. A very old school way of looking at employees as property rather than assets.
