NO WORK GOOD ENVIRONMENT | NO GROWTH | NO PROFESSIONALISM - Anonymous employee HPL Gamedesign Employee Review

If you're looking to start as a beginner, this is an alright company that will help you in terms of speed and creative decision making, but be ready to stand the gruel of the grind.

- Work-Life Balance: There is no clear line between work and home. Employees are often forced to work on revisions even after they have finished their shift for the day. - Constant Rushing: Tasks are often treated as emergencies when they aren't. Work that could wait until tomorrow is forced to be finished today. - Difficulty Taking Leave: It is too hard to take a break. Vacation Leave, requires a long notice even for just one day. - Management Blame: Leadership does not take responsibility. They often blame the team for failures and pressure people until they want to quit. - Lack of Support: Human Resources do not listen to or protect the staff. If anything they will find everything can pin on you. - Toxic Environment: The office mood has become much worse since 2025 due to changes in Operations and that specific director. - Guilt Tripping: Management uses emotional pressure to make people feel bad if they complain about how the company is run. - Privacy Issues.

- Had amazing co-workers in our department during my time in this company and it was never a dull moment working with the team. I've had struggles keeping up with the projects before, nonetheless, my efforts were still valued and recognized by them. - Somehow enjoyed working on few interesting projects and side projects.

- Salary is awfully low, below industry standard. Can't even feel the increase. Overtime sometimes doesn't get counted either. - Management doesn't get their priorities straight. So many unnecessary and unfair changes as well that doesn't go in favor to their employees. - Little to no career growth! Also expect projects to be repetitive and boring after a few months. You'll soon be able to find the right place and the right people to help you with your growth. Just don't look for it here.
