Fun Games, Cold Staff

QA - Game Tester • Former Employee

Pros: Good working environment. Decent pay (part-time). Job scope is extremely fun if you like gaming. Decent working hours and central location.

Cons: Staff atmosphere pretty cold, especially for a gaming company. Very little interaction and cooperation seen between colleagues, maybe because half the time everyone is doing coding/game testing.
