Smilegate West

I recently had the unfortunate misfortune of being associated with Smilegate, and I can confidently say that it has been one of the most dreadful experiences of my professional life. From the very beginning, it became evident that this company was riddled with dishonesty, deceitful managers, and outrageously low salaries. Allow me to elaborate on the nightmare that unfolded during my time with this company.

First and foremost, the managers at Smilegate proved themselves to be nothing more than a bunch of liars. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with empty promises and misleading information about the job role, growth opportunities, and company culture. They painted a rosy picture of a nurturing and supportive work environment, only for me to discover a toxic atmosphere with managers who were more interested in covering their own backs than actually helping their team members.

Not only did the managers lack transparency, but they also exhibited a complete disregard for their employees' well-being. They consistently made unrealistic demands, piled on an excessive workload, and never hesitated to shift blame onto their subordinates. The so-called "leadership"  in this company displayed a shocking lack of integrity, leaving their team members feeling undervalued and unappreciated.

And let's not forget about the abysmal salary structure at Smilegate. It's almost laughable how ridiculously low the compensation is for the amount of work and dedication expected from employees. It is apparent that prioritizes cutting costs and maximizing profits at the expense of its workforce. The salary offered barely covers the basic necessities, making it impossible to maintain a decent standard of living or plan for any kind of future.

To sum it up, Smilegate is a breeding ground for dishonesty and exploitation. The managers are masters of deception, making false promises and creating a toxic work environment. Combine that with the insultingly low salaries, and you have a recipe for a disastrous professional experience.

I strongly advise anyone considering joining Smileagte to think twice and thoroughly research the company's reputation. Don't fall victim to the misleading facade they present during the hiring process. Spare yourself in the agony of dealing with untrustworthy managers and struggling with an inadequate salary. Look elsewhere for an organization that values its employees and provides a fair and supportive work environment.

In conclusion, my experience with Smilegate was nothing short of a nightmare. I hope that by sharing my dreadful encounter, I can help others avoid the pain and frustration that I endured. Stay away from [Your Company] unless you enjoy working for liars and being severely underpaid.

There definitely exists room for advancement if you know where to look, but the issue is that the ego of some managers must be kept in check, as such is ruining the atmosphere of the company. Very discouraging to say the least. Management is fairly clueless when it comes down to personnel management, doesn't promote that easily, watching competent workers not get rewarded also doesn't work for the company's favour whether they realize it or not. They lose most of their talent from lack of reward for their work.


Casual gaming company. Cross Fire is the name of the game which is a first person shooting game that is very old and behind the current free to play games. 

The benefits that are mentioned aren't given right away you will get them within 9-12 months of employment. There is no set time to receive them. Company HQ is in Korea and the decisions come from there. The management worries a lot about pleasing HQ rather than developing employees and Korean employees are heavily favored because of it.

The workforce had shrunk significantly as the new games that were introduced had to be removed due to low quality and lack of interest.

You will have lots of free time. Perfect job to just receive a paycheck.

Working with this company has been nothing but stressful. In addition to low salary which came with zero benefits, while working here, I also had to deal with supervisors and managers whom their technical and management skills were extremely pathetic. The only thing they do right is to enslave their employees, so if you are born to being a miserable slave, this company will feed your needs. They would constantly blame you for their lack of skills and ridiculously expect you to thrive in such a toxic working environment. That simply explains WHY THEY ARE DROWNING FAST...

I worked here for 6 months in the IT department.

Unfortunately, IT manager does not have any technical and managerial knowledge required to handle his duties properly. He is totally lost and literally belittle other employees to hide behind his insecurities. He just sets you up for failure and always look for someone to put the blame on when things don't go as they are planned!! 

I assume it would be best for him to go back to school and learn the professional and ethical methodologies that would make him functional in his current position.

Management is learning from past mistakes and is working to fix problems from before. 
They still need to communicate better with employees regarding long-term plans and goals, but overall this is a great place to work. 

The hours are good and the atmosphere is very casual.  They have great team building activities and they bring in lunch once a month.  They just started having guest speakers come in once a month as well.  
Everyone gets a long really well.

A lot of changes has happened within the last year. I am glad the company is moving forward with more flexibility and work-life balance. We get to choose how long our lunches times are and when. 

I think my favorite part of work is when I get to play the games in the meeting rooms during spare time. There are fun board games and console games. The company has done a great job in providing that and also team lunches every month.

Unfortunately, I worked in this company for a while, you are responsible for the occupation game in this company and you do not have any mentors for training.
 The manager is not literate enough and when you can not do your job properly,
 He makes fun of you and gives you a warning. Some days you have to be at work until morning without any salary.

Really good company to start getting profesional experience and acquire new skills. 

Since I started in this company, I've been acquiring new skills such as Interpersonal skils, Allows you to learn new concepts and acquire knowledge, in my case, Quality Assurance for Videogames.

I don't think they cared about their workers. No flexibility allowed, no remote work allowed. Workers were expected to work everyday 9-6 and had to check-in / check-out on time, otherwise be penalized. In addition, there were weekly midnight maintenances and nobody was bothered if workers like it or not.
