Work-life balance

My pay and benefits at Konami Gaming are ok depending what department you work at.

Job security and advancement
In terms of job security at Konami Gaming, it was ok.

Management
In general, managers at Konami Gaming are not over shoulder like other companies stress free.

Culture
Collaboration with my colleagues at Konami Gaming is ok everyone is nice.

Overall
If you like to work independently with out having managers over you this job is ok on that part they have alot of favoritism  in the company manager and supervisor  will not acknowledge you at all.They will lie behind  your back about certain things going around  in manufacturing. If you have complains and you go to human resources they will not help you. They also take forever to hire you permanently so if you ok working as a temp for 5 years this the place for you unless the manager and supervisor  like you.They don't take seniority seriously  so if a temp came before you and you been there longer they will hire the person who was there less time. They will  not treat their employees for any accomplishment met.

Productive and smart coworkers who pull together and are supportive. A distinct "No mean people allowed" rule definitely exists here. Been here for 1 year and seems like prior years were not this way.  Must have worked hard to get the old school mentality out and bring in this more inclusive culture.  Whatever they did, it's the best place I've ever worked.  VERY nice people. Polite meetings. NO boys-clubs and NO "this is the way we've always done it" allowed.  Ideas welcomed but not every idea is praised as the best thing ever brought to the table.  Honesty welcomed. Only constructive criticism allowed. If it's not productive it's whining so save it for your friends. Your paid for solutions so bring 'em to the table with a plan and you'll always be welcomed.  Happiest I've ever been at any job.

If you like working in a large white room with, no company art on the walls. Low cubicles so you can hear everything and everyone. Some people like to walk around, so they can see what your doing. There once was a time when you couldn't wear headphones. You must write reports for everything you do, be sure to use bullet points. You may need to rewrite your your report, because it wasn't what they wanted you to say. If your a creative person, chances are your ideas will get shot down they already have a plan. The employees moral is very low and the non compete agreement is crazy long. So you will be working there for a while.

Konami is great if you never want to advance or if you want to watch unqualified people advance over you. I am a tier 1 agent, I have 10 years of experience as a network tech for major teleco companies. I am a PM and CSM but still no advancement, I have applied to numerous positions only to be told to wait. 

There are people who are far less qualified than myself who have been promoted to position they couldn't hope to be skilled enough for. These are biting realities but regardless I would still work here and will attempt to make the best of it even though I know the reality of the situation.

Staff is kept short to cut costs and cope with staff leaving the company to find advancement or quitting because of the work load. Short staffing makes the problem cyclical and management does little to nothing to solve the problem. Any given week may require a dramatic shift in work schedule to compensate for your own travel or the travel of someone else in the department. Team is expected to work up to 80 hours in one week to meet promises made to customer regardless of ability for staff to deliver.

Very unprofessional to work for and I was embarrassed to go in front of the customers with my team’s level of unprofessionalism. The 401k was great other than that it was not good. My boss and team members would set eachother up for failure all the time and enjoyed watching others fail at their jobs. The company offers no mentoring and very little training programs to learn the systems, and then hold you accountable to make it work for the customer. I’m so glad that the experience of Konami is behind me.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Adequate salary is offered initially.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Frequent overtime expected from exempt employees.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Office is usual noisy cubicle jungle, difficult to conduct meetings and concentrate. The culture fostered is to bandage and not solve product defects.

Konami Gaming is focused on aggressive growth.  

There is opportunity to advance in almost every department.

The growth goals can create compressed timelines and overlapping projects.  This can make a stressful environment for some and a stimulating environment for others.

No chance for advancement.  No chance for new development.  Everything is developed in Japan first, all that is left is cleanup work of existing projects.  Pay is okay.  Benefits are the same or worse than any other gaming company.  The regular staff is friendly and professional.  The excutive staff doesn't always make the best business decisions.  It's a workable place, but don't expect real advancement, it's not there.

Company rewards mediocracy and complacency With any attempts to improve blocked.   Most employees have never worked anywhere else and have no idea how to run a successful business. Management is a joke who are constantly covering their inadequacies through doubletalk and pointing fingers at everyone else, including their own teams.  Every day will be an ordeal unless you shut your brain off and become as incompetent as everyone else.
