Techland Reviews

- Some people are not.... - Lack of management, like seriously - we didn't knew a single thing around the company. We heard the release date of DL2 the same day you heard it, and we knew even then that this is not in option! - Lack of direction, with story, with art, with design. - Lack of taking responsibility for anything, - Putting blame on production team, when nobody ask anyone how much time it takes to create. - Every single prototype need to be on beta quality level, because "management don't like to look at boxes" , - Common bullying and mobbing, many people ended up at psychologist, - If you want to do something good and help with organization, you are brought to earth. And usually referred to as a troublemaker. - People are paid pennies , because they "are young and don't have needs", skill is irrelevant. - Often you are working on something that you know that will land in trash.

- most of the time you get no feedback, unless you are extremely lucky to get a nice manager - a lot of people act as professionals while they have only a basic idea of what's going on - high level management is incompetent (and they never have time for anything ;) - your career there will be fruitful if you are basically a liar (you can always say it's others fault - nobody checks it) - if you join production team, like gameplay or design, then be prepared to erase you all-time-job because a guy at the top didn't like it (literally) - or didn't like you - or both - there are no processes, no defined rules. it's almost like a deathmatch game - you have to always ask others for help because there is almost no documentation (a few outdated documents may still be valid), no TDDs, no GDDs - there is no task estimation, so you will never know if you are hard-working or lazy (you will get annual pay rise anyway) - meetings are always the same: "let's talk about it after the metting" which never happens, so there is a huge waste of time - teamwork isn't effective at all because everyone is chasing their tails and they are always: tired, exhausted, depressed - the worst thing is that many passionate people spend a lot of their time, doing amazing stuff and it's totally wasted
