"Miserable place to work"

"Doesn't Recommend
Positive Outlook

I have been working at Game Freak as a contractor (More than a year)

Pros

Millions of users love our products. Work is interesting. Plenty of challenges build character. Company makes a profit. Job seems secure.

Cons

Executives and directors are too eager to take credit and design direction. No room for younger employees to grow, set direction. Too much overtime. Bad workplace culture and environment. Lots of jerks. Not all projects are engaging. Bad direction. Too many contract workers. Salary is very poor.

Advice to Management

Invest in developing young talent for game design."
