The company is great, but Platform Services has much to improve
Tons of different departments to see and explore career paths.
Company offers a lot of different learning and development courses throughout the year.
Company has a health/wellness program to get gamers moving.
Work/life balance takes a hit, depending on the team.
The Platform Services department is mostly based on who you know to get advanced. Hard work and contributing when asked are not recognized.
Compensation is a yearly question that appears in surveys but never gets resolved. Throughout the year, the employer delivers taxable goods (i.e., free games, books) that the employee doesn't have a say in whether or not they want. This is considered a part of the employee's salary/benefits.
Assess and restructure the personal management positions (supervisor, asst manager, manager).
Those positions do not understand what each of their reports' team does, and rarely take the time to understand it.
Thus, reviews are based off of information that the report's team members give, not through their own personal oversight.
