      A Toxic Environment with a View - Software Engineer Square Enix Employee Review

      Pros

      Nice office with a great view from the 16th floor. It's much quieter than most offices I've worked at over my 10 year career in the videogame industry. Free drinks and beer Fridays.

      Cons

      IPs suffer from toxic politics, mostly caused by the talentless, yes-men-manegment at Square-Enix Europe, or local, useless hot-shots who think they're making a positive difference when, in fact, they're only destroying moral and motivation.

      Pros

      Free food and drinks available often Free games and other goodies around releases and events Most people are friendly and easy/fun to work with/be around Annual bonus

      Cons

      Japan is stuck in the past and refuses to adapt or accept what gamers/NA coworkers actually need/want Customer Service has been outsourced to save costs but you get what you pay for Projects that would actually win the market have been cancelled consecutively to make room for slop Almost impossible to move up since there's no budget and practically zero opportunity
