Pros
- Office nicely presented and is positioned in a great location - Most of the general staff are lovely welcoming and friendly - Jollies are usually better than your usual company outings - HR team are mostly great people that genuinely care - Redundancies avoided at all costs most of the time through reallocation
Cons
- Legacy managers are poison, manipulative, lazy and hypocritical - New CEO was once seen as a hero but in new role has disappointed beyond belief - Get little credit or recognition for original ideas that succeed, spotlight stolen - Newest executives and VPs although seasoned have severely broken the once great identify and culture Jagex once had - Although a typical saying, it’s very much who you know not what you know or how hard you work - Staff feedback process via Glint surveys pointless process and yields little impact/results - Staff concerns often ignored or overlooked despite countless examples of being right after the fact - If you’re Manager that has your teams best interests at heart, prepare to be managed out - Beyond the typical bulk training initiatives, training at Jagex is an absolute joke - Jagex moving aggressively toward an outsourced model. Starting to severely devalue the benefit of permanent onsite staff - Beyond RuneScape and OldSchool, has failed to deliver another successful game, despite millions of pounds and many attempts - If you plan to live in Cambridge don’t expect your salary to be at a level required to live there. Salary only worthwhile if you commute - If you commute, prepare to spend hours in traffic sometimes. A14 overhaul isn’t due to complete until 2021 - I.T team are useless, argumentative and take a super long time to complete the simplest of urgent requests. Tons of red tape - Community is toxic and rarely evolving. Most of the paying customers are returning players, new player acquisition shamefully low - Jagex’s desperation to be noticed and seen in the industry is cringe, spend less money sponsoring events that yield pointless results
