Bad management and company culture inherently ignore customers
Bad management and company culture inherently ignore customers
Technologically on par with the rest of the IT world. Opportunity to learn new technologies.
The company pretends to be concerned about customers and customer satisfaction, but they don't care a whole lot.
They want your money for crappy games they produce, and most of the games are franchise.
I got a very bad manager, highly political, who would only step in to take credit for good work. When things went sour, he would just blame it on all his workers.
Try to see beyond the political games of your managers if you want to survive in the video game industry.
