Pros

- Constantly adding perks to keep up with competitors - When COVID19 hit, the Company responded quickly and had everyone WFH before the lockdown. Company also provided constant communication. -Knowing Korean is not needed - everyone has English proficiency. The Company also offer(ed) on-site English for Second Language learners and Korean classes for those who were interested!

Cons

- Everyone is working hard, but all towards a good cause of one day having another hit that is not Maplestory - Nexon is constantly being compared to Western Gaming Companies, when it should be compared to others in its niche

Pros

My co-workers are great to work with, the data infrastructure is well built and maintained, and the management listens to us when we say we need additional tools and services. The pay is solid for the role as well. Nexon treats its workers well, even during work-from-home.

Cons

Nexon is a large company based in Korea. Therefore, in Nexon America, you can feel a little distant from the primary decision-makers, and nearly all large decisions must pass through them.
