Pros

There are not Pros (and do not think about them here) only if you want a future with no career oportunities and salary growth ( Only HR Department is okay :)

Cons

If you get to work with Dumitru S (with one of the worst PMs ever), run from this company as further as possible (A LOT OF MENTAL HARASSMENT at WORKPLACE (seen it while walking near)) LABOUR EXPLOIT ON MAXIMUM PIZZA PARTY and fruits ARE A LIE NO GYM ABONAMENT AS PROMISED, just after 1 year of work here MENTAL HARASSMENT (a lot and often) seen from superiors and directors during working period (especially seen from the PM mentioned above) Applied as Graphig designer, interviewed as Video Editor, contract mentions that I am UI/UX Designer and the scam consists that in the contract states that I have responsabilities of a graphic design too) Company earns millions on scam games, but pay less than minimum standards on the market (most Unity dev salaries are EUR: 400-500) (the fact that they are juniors is not a reason to pay such small salary) Small salary (in other Teams the situation is better, but not in the team I was) Bad PM (very, very, and again very bad) with bad tastes (and the team leaders have even worse tastes and saller logic and knowledge); First words when I came were: "forget about any graphic design standarts and rules" Small salary for a lot of Duties and Responabilities Beside my job, I was doing Unity, Graphic Design and UI/UX for for the aprox. equivalent of 620EUR (and for parking lot you pay as well, it is not provided by company as mentioned initially, after 2 months they just help with 50% of the cost). Even thought directors have dividents of parking lot company where is the office. First 2 Months they do not pay officially, and it is not considered as test period (you need to work another 6 months to be able to get a vacation) - so this company is a scam for government as well When you request a day off, you need to recover the time with to recover full time job time (lunch time included) Their Social media lies in everything they do (every post that this company is a family - it is clear lie, the situation is not so bad as it is at UNIFUN, but, it is not good as well) In the ending I will add the fact that affected me deep to the bones: Attitude of the superiors and the fact that workers are overused

Pros

Good for people who are new to IT, students, or anyone with no previous gamedev experience

Cons

1.Most of the games are basically scam products. This hurts the reputation of the entire gaming industry in Moldova. 2.Poor structure and chaotic workflows often result in employees doing the work of multiple people and constantly being overworked. 3.The company tried to introduce guidelines and documentation, but because of how things are managed, those guides became meaningless and were mostly there for show. 4.One person can be responsible for an entire production pipeline. There are often no proper leads or mentors for specific disciplines, which means very limited professional growth. 5.Even when a team has a lead, their expertise can be questionable. 6.Because of that, feedback quality is poor. Your work is often approved or rejected based on personal preferences rather than objective standards. It feels more like dealing with a client than being part of a professional team. 7.Your skills can become non-competitive on the job market. If you don't study on your own and actively look for better opportunities, you may end up with "3 years of developer experience" that isn't valued elsewhere. 8.Burnout is common because of constant pressure and deadlines. 9.Speed is valued much more than quality. 10.People can be fired without warning, sometimes literally overnight. In many cases you won't even know the real reason. 11.Salaries are around 30% to 60% below market rates. 12.The office culture is toxic. There is no real sense of equality. Internal politics, power struggles, competition for money, influence, and performance metrics are common. That being said, nobody is forcing anyone to stay. You can leave whenever you want. Whether you stay or not is your choice. People who value their time, growth, and professional development have either already left or are actively looking for a way out.
