VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Previously I was a UI designer at a gaming company where many people may probably think it’s cool to work at, but it was not as fun as it looks like most of time. We had many projects to finish within very limited time frame, so we need to work under great pressure. For instance, I was assigned to work on a short-term project which must be on line within a week, every day my co-workers and I had to work overtime until the early morning of the next day. Furthermore, the working content was laborious in that we had to re-design the web page over and over. However, we still had some fun, for example, once the company planned to push a new game, so all employees were asked to play the game after work. It was really hilarious to fight each other in the game.
