Square Enix Reviews

its gaming, so ideally you are into that in order to be excited about the product else its just a regular company to you.

- Wages below industry average, especially for London. - No financial support for transports, which are not cheap, and it's not like you can afford anything in zones 1 and 2 (office is located in central London) - Very low career opportunities in lots of departments once you reach intermediary levels. You need to be there at the right place at the right time - if not, you can wait years no matter how hard you work. This was true before all the current layoffs in the industry and this is even truer now. Even then, promotions are centered around people management - there are pretty much no openings for specialists. - Poor communication between regions, and even between some teams of the same region. - Communication silos and low trust from the main office in Japan (which I think is partly the reason why it's the same in other regions). With a few exceptions, they are the parents and you are the kids. It can be pretty hindering and frustrating.
