Pros
Good colleagues to work with
Kontras
Long working hours Bad polices No job security and unpredictable layoffs (many people were let go from all the departments)
Pros
Pros • Good place for freshers and intermediate-level employees to learn quickly in the gaming industry. • Employees get exposure to multiple responsibilities including game UI, assets, production pipelines, live projects, and fast execution workflows. • Remote work flexibility is one of the biggest advantages. Employees can work comfortably from different locations. • Work culture was much better during the early growth phase when the company size was smaller and teams were more closely connected. • Team members are generally friendly and approachable. Day-to-day work pressure is manageable compared to many gaming startups. • Fast-paced environment helps employees improve multitasking and production speed. • During the company’s growth phase, Gamezop expanded aggressively, including international expansion into Bahrain and multiple internal product initiatives, which created opportunities for learning and exposure.
Kontras
Cons • In later years, job security became one of the biggest concerns due to multiple restructuring phases and layoffs. • Several internal business initiatives and teams were eventually shut down, and many employees across departments were affected. • Appraisals and salary increments became inconsistent during loss periods, and communication around compensation structure was sometimes unclear from an employee perspective. • Increment calculations often included added benefits in a way that made the overall hike percentage appear higher than the actual salary increase. • Layoff process felt difficult for affected employees. Notice period support was limited, and there was no severance compensation in many cases. • Long-term planning and management decisions sometimes appeared unstable during expansion and restructuring phases. • Project requirements and feedback cycles could become unpredictable, with frequent changes and limited clarity. • Team engagement activities and employee morale initiatives reduced significantly during financial difficulties. • Senior employees with higher salaries may feel less secure during business slowdowns or restructuring phases. Overall, I would say Gamezop can be a good learning platform for people early in their careers, especially for gaining fast-paced startup and gaming industry exposure. However, employees looking for long-term stability, structured growth, and stronger job security may want to carefully evaluate their long-term plans.
