MindArk Annual Report 2015 (english version)

I'll wait for the English version, but what I got was deposits down,withdrawals up, but somehow they posted a profit.

 

I dunno.... I think there is stuff going on but agree that for 35 people, there isn't the expected amount of noticable output.

Soooo.... how far can we take this nugget of information? Can we start to identify who these 35 are and what they do/what their job title is? Could people maybe chip in with who they know are there and maybe names of support staff from (recent) support cases. We could take a guess at some of the positions that they will almost certainly need too, like cleaner, server admin and so forth.

The reason I'm suggesting doing this is to get an idea of how many people are:

a) Being Senior Management
b) Keeping the Lights on and the show running
c) Being creative

I don't think there is information publicly available on all employees, if the company doesn't share the whole team's mugshots on their website. Some do it and I sometimes thought I might not like it if I worked there. Anyways, senior management is of course public information:

They are currently looking for a programmer:

Checked their job ad occasionally and found it on and off a bit. But yeah, might not mean much indeed.

 

They have a lot of directors, managers, seniors, then those who sit on chair like chairman etc but nobody to work.
I'm guessing what happened with promised 5% coders increase... did they employed scenery artists and sound breakers instead?

 

OK 19 down... 16 to go...

I don't actually have a linked in account so can't access all the info on MA or some of the employees

Feel free to chip in with any names from recent support cases or other people you may know of who have been shown to still work for MA/Calypso in the last 6 months or so.

In other news... MA's take on TP fee's ;) http://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?225692-Teleporters&highlight=

 

I don't understand what the purpose of this homework is.

 

Mainly because I am interested in who makes my virtual home of the last 12 years and more importantly, whose hands it is in for the immediate future. Specifically though I'm interested in how many creative staff they have as this will allow us to guage the level of development we can expect for the foreseeable future
