Pros

Dev collegues "on the floor" are wonderful and inspiring people.

Kontras

If you're an individual who wishes to be treated like a robot and you just want a paycheck then this is the place for you. This company is oozing with manipulation, backstabbing, emotional blackmail, casual sexism and "us against them" mentality from management. Here you can climb the career ladder if you're loud and proud and kiss the CEOs boots. If you speak up in any capacity you're shut down, made to feel like an outsider and is frozen from any career development unless you change up your act and shut up. You are seen as the problem. You're not treated like a human being here. People don't dare say anything negative in the offices in case anyone in management hears so they bring their talks outside. Multiple attempts have been made by individuals to change this from the bottom up but they are crushed and/ or fired. Our CEO sits in Turkey, drinking beers on camera during studio meetings. He listens in on conversations. He lies to stakeholders/ sponsors in order to make IOI look better than it actually is. A lot of people are unhappy, and it shows in our turnover rate.

Pros

- Great co-workers - High salary

Kontras

- Extremely high lay off/firing rate of employees whose sole offense has been to tell upper management "no". (Just look at the 007 credits and see how many Leads and Managers are under "special thanks" or "additional".) - Backwards company culture, extremely toxic with overtime without true compensation, and backstabbing left and right. - Be quiet and agree to everything a person with more power tells you. - They published a game of a company whose CEO is in the Epstein Files, I mean...........

Pros

- Great people to work with, that try to create a fun and good environment - Fun projects that can be inspiring to work on

Kontras

- Terrible communication, even though one of the pillars of the company is to "speak true" - it rarely is the case - Bad management and directors. Pretty much all directors hold their current positions based on nepotism and not skill, which shows. Everything is planned as if done by amateurs. - Some of the lowest salaries you'll see. They'll blame that on the local competition, but the local competition is paying criminally low already. If you compare to other studios in similar situations and sizes as IOI, you'll realize that your salary will be way below average. - Preaches no crunch culture and pride themselves on that they have never crunched. This couldn't be farther from the truth. We crunch, and recently it's been a lot of it. Yet the studio doesn't want to openly call it crunch, and instead labels it as us being "passionate". We are not passionate. We are crunching. Be honest. - The inexperience and miscommunication of certain producers and leads is horrible. Again, communication between teams is bad as it is, and with a game release on the horizon, everyone is focusing on fixing the product rather than fixing the team that is building it.
