Pros
My team is full of brilliant, passionate, and kind people trying to do their best. At the employee level, these are some of the best people I've ever worked with. Salary is very good but no other perks or bonuses. The onsite gym for the business park is decent. Some of the holiday swag is nice.
Cons
This is a sinking ship. After multiple rounds of layoffs in the last few years, spontaneous project cancellations, and company leadership openly badmouthing their teams, the environment is chaotic and wildly unstable. I'm actually impressed at how fast things got bad, from randomly giving people a "choice" to relocate to Texas (no relo paid) and take a pay cut, to cutting PTO payout or bonuses, to randomly putting multiple projects "on pause" with no notice and forcing employees to move to a new project or take a hilariously bad severance package. We have been blindsided and gaslighted. If ProbablyMonsters never said they were "People First" and just said they were like any other massive corporate game company then at least I would know what to expect coming here. There is nothing "people first" about forced RTO, firing people based on rumor without proper investigation or opportunities to course correct, no DEI policy, leadership refusing to take accountability for their numerous unforced errors. Leadership has no idea what they are doing but will declare new policy as a knee jerk reaction and then have to walk things back or worse, make someone else figure out the actual specifics of how to execute their new plan. The organizational structure is insanely top heavy (i.e. expensive) with most people at the top so far removed from actual game development they don't actually know how to make games and are just a waste of space and money but they cannot be removed because of nepotism. Crunch and more layoffs are inevitable for their one viable project. I can't imagine this company survives for much longer given the way they treat the people who are actually doing the work.
