@frogopus Excellent, because I do quite agree with what you were saying. Doing these kinds of antics is certainly not a good choice... but sometimes things just reach a breaking point when not handled properly.
Ah, sorry for any misdirection, though the information isn't as quite easily obtained. There are the Glass Door like sites, but as you said, they are typically a complaint playground. Though there is still some value in noting what common topics are touched on and the volume of the complaints, just as a review for anything online.
I don't have one direct source I could point out unfortunately. I mean, I wouldn't expect a company to happily allow this kind of information to be to easily compiled for quick viewing after all. However, it is out there - just a bit spread out.
I don't mean to be so indirect, but I'm also trying to not to get anyone in trouble or stir up anything further... I somewhat regret posting already. I was just really overcome by the fact that they had yet another employee related issue, this one far more public even.
I also have to admit I've had both direct and indirect experiences with this company and several former employees. So I have a rather unfair additional insight to this. And yes, I know anyone could say that they have had experiences like that, and I can't provide 'proof' as I don't want to ruin anonymity of myself or others. But if you're curious enough, I know you'll be able to find most, if not all, the information out there.
@frogopus I think you may be missing what I'm saying. I'm not saying you aren't familiar with these aspects within the industry, nor am I condoning the person's actions, and I already stated I agreed with you on those regards... so I'm a little unsure why you keep bring those parts up again and again.
Though I have to say I am a bit surprised, given your familiarity with the industry, that you didn't do your research on sites that pertain more to employment within the industry - instead of just searching a gaming news website or performing a generic Google search.
To help avoid any more confusion and make it perfectly clear, all I am saying is this is not a one off case and I am hoping the company uses these situations to better reflect on their practices, and why these types of issues keep happening to them, to create a better environment for both the company and employees. I'm not trying to question another person's ability to understand work life balance, nor am I trying to promote doing actions like breaking NDAs. Simply put, I want it to be a learning experience for the company to improve (and perhaps the for the person who leaked too) and for others not to blindly side in a situation they know minimal information about.
Well like I said, it wasn't a professional way to handle that. Sure. So I generally agree with what you said.
Though, this isn't the first time this company has had issues like this. Not by a long shot. And it isn't a problem in that employees aren't voicing issues either...
It's pretty humorous seeing people talk so sure fire about situations that they clearly only know the surface of. All I'll say is this - dig a little into this company's history, tactics, and 'policies' to get a fuller story. Although this persons's actions maybe not have been the most professional, perhaps it was needed to let the company reflect a little on why it happened in the first place.
But, such is the internet with it's need to brandish pitchforks wildly...
Anyway, I'm glad Splatoon was the result of the ordeal. It's a wonderful game and series, and certainly helped with Wii U out.

I hope I have clarified enough.

Again, dig deeper.
