Pros
- Potential of game ChronoBlade could do well (if actually launches) - People are passionate about the work they do
Cons
All cons listed below are a direct reflections of the executive leadership since the person handles "People Operations/HR" is trying to fix things, but doesn't have authority to make changes. Gift cards and stuff are nice, but it doesn't cut it to keep people happy long term. - "Company Culture" is based on what the co-founders want it to be, but not want the culture actually is. - No work life-balance if you are someone who like to have work and life separate (as I am). For those that set boundaries for work-life and leave office at normals hours, they are resented by others on the team. True culture there is not feeling like it is ok to leave. - In reality moral is low-- people don't feel appreciated for how much work they put in, don't feel communicated honestly with my founding team. - If you are not Korean, then you are not as valued. There is a clear divide between Koreans and non-Koreans that creates bad team collaboration and affect company culture. - Even though everyone in the office can speak English, and should be speaking English in the US office, many of the Koreans choose to speak Korean as a way to exclude those who don't speak the language. It is very offensive and rude, has been brought up multiple times by many people, but doesn't seem to change since the CEO does the same thing. - Launch dates have been moved more times than I can count. - Communication by founders is horrible. There is NO transparency even though it is supposed to be one of the core values. They tell everyone what they want to hear to avoid conflict rather than being transparent all around. - Nobody on the management team is empowered to do their jobs and make actionable decisions without it being bottle necked at the co-founders. - Benefits/ perks are horrible and don't even compare to competitors. PTO is almost non-existent. - Policies are very old school and corporate-- discourage WFH, strict PTO, etc. - For as much as you will be expected to give to the company, don't expect that they'll give that back. It is a take take.
