Game company run by people without gaming experience

Pros

No positive comments for this company. One hit wonder that was bought out by a large company and could not produce a follow up game. Parent company was not innovative.

Cons

CEO Irfan Virk was a cancer. He had no business running a game company with engineers that have never played much less programmed games. He did not even have the nerve to show up the day the company closed. The parent company that bought Gameview was not a leader but a follower. They just wait for another company to make a game and then copy it. They call their analytics team members game designers. Staff was made up of mostly family members. Again people with no game experience but called themselves game designers. An insult to actual professionals that are real game designers. Poor designs and no clue that games require actual user testing. Not having your kids play and get their opinion.

Pros

- Environment is good and people are helpful, atleast in Lahore office - Salary and Benefits are much better as compared to the competitors - Hired employees are of top notch so when some discussions that take place, one gets to learn some new things

Cons

- Hire people more than required, and then down-size the company saying DeNA wills it - Politics is at its very best at GVS - Higher Management can do whatever they want, and in the end the juniors suffer - Senior people are so busy in their petty quarrels that they dont even care about the project they are heading - Late sittings are part of the culture and some people even enjoy sitting late (pathetic)
