Very fun group (QA mostly), but draconic management and leadership
Very fun group (QA mostly), but draconic management and leadership
- Great atmosphere and workgroup (mostly QA, but okay at Dev also) – this was the case then, but now, I don't really know.
- Good company to start your career at.
- Party at the end of each project – again, this was the case then...
- Incompetent leaders that fear anyone that has a brain and thus try to put these guys out ASAP.
- No promotions, unless you're friends with bosses (or in very rare cases if you can convince management that you actually are that good - I know only 2 cases).
- The blame for bad things goes to people that had no part in the process that failed. Ex. The Dev/QA porting team is disbanded for the failure of the Studio/Creative team.
Take an infinite vacation and let guys that think run the show.

It was a presentation of the role. I was asked things about my CV and my past experiences. I was asked about how I collaborate in a team and if I had used C++ before.
Audio Engineer
Applied online and received a phone call about 10 days later from a very friendly, assertive, and to-the-point recruiter. An interview via Skype was scheduled for the next day.
Software Engineer
A degrading experience with a coding question purposely meant to confuse the candidate. The variables and conditions are written in a way that sounds inappropriate and embarrassing when the candidate has to say them out loud.
