Glassdoor Nexon Reviews

I'm not sure if this has already been posted here or not. Somebody shot me this link over MSN a moment ago:

http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Nex...scending=false

If it has been posted, thats cool too. If not, thoughts?

Yea this shows up from time to time. All I get from it is that Nexon Am. sucks and is Korea's peach.

the fact that pretty much any random person can say they work(ed) for Nexon and post it anonymously shouldn't make the posts that accurate. I remember a while back they had ppl hu typd lyk dis rit revws on teh compny, which were obviously trolls. Though I can see the well thought out answers as being slightly accurate.

I started to doubt the integrity of these reviews as I read a few in, as a lot of them sounded like disgruntled players pretending to be employees to give the company bad reviews.

This one in particular:

“Lost my faith in this industry”
Current Employee in El Segundo, CA – Reviewed Feb 10, 2013

Pros – Coworkers are very friendly
Good way to get industry experience

Cons – Unbelievable workload
Understaffed
Poor Atmosphere
Bosses don't listen to our complaints
Anti-minority attitudes expressed by some bosses
The AC is broken
My seat doesn't lean all the way back anymore
No foosball table
DFO is Dead

Advice to Senior Management – Realize that we as employees are human beings, not machines, and the ridiculous amount of stress being placed on a small number of us is NOT good policy. On top of this, direct more staff towards your flagging releases, hire more staff in general, release more content, provide a better level of customer communication and answer my flipping ticket please.

Yeah. I don't trust this one bit.

Lost it at "and answer my flipping ticket please"

Although some seem fake this one does actually seem like it was written by an actual employee. Most interesting review imo.

“This company and missed opportunities”
Former Project Manager in El Segundo, CA – Reviewed Feb 10, 2013

Pros – The environment, when not facing strenuous deadlines concerning updates, patches, whatever, is very relaxed and the people you meet are wonderful.
Basketball court, lounge, and beautiful beach view.
Great place to make life-long friends and find people who are truly compassionate about their jobs and the games.

Cons – Leadership is addled and confused. They have no clue how to manage these games and are hindered even further by Nexon Korea.
Meager pay.
Harsh deadlines and late nights.
No overtime.
Some of the policies are for certain individuals only.

Advice to Senior Management – Learn to have some courage and don't needlessly follow everything that Nexon Korea tells you. You are your own company and you're missing out on gems and alienating your player base. Instead of doing the right things and pushing for certain games, you've allowed games which at one time were one of your leading moneymakers, to fall stagnate. Now you try and focus on other games, letting the true gems escape you. I understand some of the reason and verdicts come from Nexon Korea, but with a little push things could have been different. This adds stress to your workers also, as they are met with a community that dislikes them, especially when we aren't allowed to communicate with them. This has them believing things like bugs and errors are our fault, especially when we aren't giving time to look over the code and fix these things. I mean come on, you get a patch and want us to translate, code and import it in less than two weeks? This company only cares about money. The way the employees are treated tends to be fair, given the deadlines, but some of the management could do with not showing preferential treatment to some of the less talented and more loyal employees. The lack of communication between Nexon and Nexon Korea is also killer, with everything seemingly dropped last minute. With a better tie to our communities, better attempts at understanding the load put on your employees, and some infrastructure changes, the company could grow and expand, seeing an overall better product produced.
