DREST Response
5yHello,
Thank you so much for writing this review we appreciate it. I am pleased to read that your experiences were generally good and you felt the team were friendly and knowledgeable. This is particularly important to us that the talent we have in the business can share their industry experience and help solve problems together.
I am sorry to read that you felt there is a lack of progression and feedback from management. This is something we know we need to work on. We have hired at pace, certainly in 2020, but we are looking at ways to ensure everyone is valued and progression and feedback are certainly part of that.
You also mentioned the need for a new strategy, we did take some time to review in December 2020 and in January launched our new strategy for 2021 which will focus the teams and drive everyone in the direction that we need to take so that the game is optimised for success. Part of that is really putting users and their experiences at the forefront of our game design.
Finally, DREST is a start-up as you mentioned, which means we will have some learning and growing pains as we continue to push ourselves. That also means that due to the pace of change and creativity there will be inefficiencies that are created but we are working on improving those along with our organisation design and structure. We are trying to be more iterative with everything that we do.
Thank you again for your review. I would really appreciate the opportunity to discuss your feedback with you in more detail if you are willing. My email address is: abby.matthews@drest.com
Thanks, Abby
