Lack of career path and promotion opportunities. It's based on who knows you, but they don't tell you that. They're happy to expand your responsibilities and tease career opportunities that you'll never receive, while paying you below market. Benefits are decent, it's a good workplace environment.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Casual communication, eager to work, some eager to learn new ways of doing things.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

They try to maintain communication, especially during the pandemic. They also provide a good support structure to maintain mental health.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

They acknowledge culture and diversity and try to provide a support framework for it (except for management and career progression opportunities).

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Pay me for the work I'm doing. I am doing the work of a level above me (and doing it well) and there is no promotion opportunity.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Game quality has decreased, with a focus on microtransactions as opposed to better gameplay and simulation. Career families and paths are intentionally unclear, to allow employees to be overloaded with responsibilities w/o being fairly compensated.
