Pros

The mismanagement is equally distributed throught the company, creating a sense of comraderie with collegues from other departments which would be missing were any of us treated with the basic dignity and respect which is due to all of humankind To paraphrase the Bard: "To stay or not to stay? Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous mismanagement, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by resigning end them…"

Cons

Read the reviews of gamigo, both the English and German ones (use online translators if required) My experiences here over the past 2 years are fully congruent with those reviews. I would add that one notoriously egregious departmental manager is particularly a problem and his mismanagement and abusive behaviour has reduced his department size by 55.6% in the past 6.5 months, with the potential to rise to 88.9% having by the end of the summer The exodus of employees from the Berlin office is so intensley expeditious that the immorally low wages offered cannot attract replacements fast enough to retain even a skeleton crew.

Pros

Great group of people, Good Work Enviroment.

Cons

It's a bigger company so some things take a bit to get done.

Pros

They showed me how not to be treated for my next job.

Cons

They would give higher titles which came with more work and no pay increase. They would start off community managers at 22K per year which is 2/3 below industry standard at the time for a qualified community manager. Raises were rarely given, and when they were, it was literally cents per hour. After being stupidly loyal for 8 years, working 12-14 hours a day on multiple games and in multiple languages, I was unceremoniously laid off along with dozens of others. The upper management has no clue what our jobs were, which must have been the determining factor on who was cut and then resulted in the downfall of the games we all worked on. Only 3 of the games are still at gamigo today with over 8 being closed down or sold off since.
