From Software employees complain about harsh working conditions

A number of From Software studio employees complained that their bosses created harsh working conditions for them. Some noted that they had to work before the release of the games, arriving at work well before the start of the working day, while others reported that their salary level was not enough to live normally in overpriced Tokyo.

At the same time, most opinions of the staff agree that working in the studio is pleasant, although difficult. Under the laws of Japan, company employees are forbidden to stay in place after 22:00, but this does not prevent bosses from forcing subordinates to come to the office early in the morning. Compensation for overtime is included in the salary without problems, but even they are not enough to provide yourself with comfort by the standards of the modern Japanese metropolis.

An outlet for From Software employees is that they are happy to work alongside those who are madly in love with games. Developers even strive to get into the list of employees of the company, which became famous for its hardcore gaming projects.
