Pros

Interesting work, especially if you're a gamer and find the IPs fun, There's definitely potential for vertical and horizontal growth if you can get through some brutal work. Potential opportunities to collaborate with other company teams and industry companies. The sole positive takeaway from working here was having the honor of meeting some truly talented and kind individuals, though I feel their potential was/is squandered by management. Pay is pretty decent by Asian country standards (not Western unless you work through one of the official offices).

Cons

Horrendous pay for remote workers that does not factor in elements like cost of living; you are provided no insurance or benefits, and you're on your own for filing taxes. Overtime is paid, but has to be approved and you are not paid at any increased rate. Unprofessional HR staff who will literally laugh in your face in DMs and handwave your concerns. Inconsistent and mixed messages from upper management. Complete disregard for employee mental health (really feels like "beatings will continue until morale improves"). Unrealistic output expectations from management. Quit one project because my colleagues had no desire for quality improvement, which resulted in the same repeated errors QA cycle after QA cycle. TL;DR usual Chinese company workplace issues

Pros

Good benefits. Chance to work on impactful projects.

Cons

Poor management, which leads to chaotically organized things everywhere. Founders and upper level managers are not entirely sure what they really want. The company expanded way too fast but lacks many important infrastructures. Saw many talented people spinning with not much meaningful tasks to do. Worst supporting human resource staff ever, many are even unprofessional. Not recommend overall.

Pros

You will work with some of the most passionate people and further shape your skills. HoYoverse is a great stepping stone for your next company.

Cons

Layoffs are happening and not being communicated, leaving employees in the dark. HoYoverse does not believe in communication if you are not based in their HQ in Singapore. Internal politics affect global teams that had 0 involvement. Holidays in Singapore are respected, but global holidays are not, and we are often messaged to be online for non-emergent issues. Get used to working late nights, as once the team in Singapore is on, you need to be as well despite set working hours. This is not a one-off thing; it’s every day.
