Pros

The job is easy and for the most time stress free. You are playing games for a living and that comes naturally if you are already a gamer.

Cons

Awful wages. A job in McDonald's will pay more. This is not a joke, I used to work for McDonald's. The canteen is an overpriced grease pit. One day you eat pasta with oil, the other oil with pasta. The company also boasts about "1 piece of free fruit" per employee, but that only works if you are lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time, as there is never enough for everyone. They also have a brilliant prize for something like the best employee of the month, where they give you a 20 euro voucher and you have to pretend you are receiving a Nobel prize. Broken dirty chairs and no air conditioning. Management keeps buying other companies so they can send work to cheaper places in other countries.

Dear fellow Keywordian, Thank you for your feedback. We are disappointed to hear that you feel disheartened by our company announcements. The purpose of announcing new acquisitions is to keep our global workforce updated and informed about the growth of KWS. We are very proud of diversity within our teams and this increases with the addition of each new studio.
