King

• Awesome perks and work conditions
• Incredible team of great and skilled professionals
• Parties every year, summer and winter, and at the Kingfomarket
• A lot of space to learn and innovate (Innovation days, Hack days, budget for trainings, online courses, conferences)
• Culture and values that are the best I've ever seen in a company.

• Barcelona tech department has become a death march department, with all the teams working on a project with no clear purpose or value. We work totally disconnected from the game studios, and Candy studios have all the real power in the company. Also, the change in the direction since Activision took over the control of the company feels like we're on a completely different company. A lot of talent is leaving the company lately, bored of doing projects without purpose and changes in priorities.
• Work life balance is just not enough. They're not flexible with people's needs and just allowing to enter from 8:00 to 10:00 is not enough. Allow working remotely, free afternoons, or even summer special time. People can't spend the whole day at work.
• Senior management is too unexperienced, usually overwhelmed by pressure or loosing control of the situation too easily.

The talented people you hired need a purpose, or they will feel like they are stuck on their careers. They could do amazing things, but upper management needs to align and get shared objectives related to real business outcomes.
