Great place with huge ambitions - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso IO Interactive A / S

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

- 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.

Some of the people are nice the food was sometimes ok Very flexible with sitting needs

The reviews that give them 5 stars are ether new or part of the problem. Listen.. there are probably worst companies and my experience working here was not completely negative. I did meet good friends and nice colleagues. But the culture here is not great. You will start work here and think its the best place in the world for the first year or two! Until you notice how this company works like a high school. Most of the managment forget that its just a game and it is supposed to be fun to work on games but they suck the life out of it. There are quite a few toxic people working here that have a delirium of power over people. And I think its the problem. The atmosphere gets quite negative and a lot of people quit because of this.
