Is this your company?

For a while I was contemplating if this company was legitimately a scam of some kind - Anonymous employee ProbablyMonsters Employee Review

Pros

Good base pay and benefits My coworkers and direct managers were great but they're gone now so unfortunately I cannot increase my stars for this reason

Cons

The company has been accused of nepotism (rightfully) in the past; instead of fixing this issue they have dismantled the rest of the company and now only the nepotists are left, along with some poor souls doing their best. Their approval of their own games depends strongly on their current "vibes," and they have strongly overestimated their own ability to deliver or lead a team of any kind. Taking on too much risk in the covid years has turned into a deep distrust of any game that isn't obviously a smash hit, and if you know game development then you know that every game goes through a period where it is uncertain it will make it at all. When their prototypes hit this point the execs inevitably get cold feet and dive out.

Pros

Pay was good, great benefits, they assembled a number of really great teams that had a ton of passion. Received a sign on bonus and severance.

Cons

From the director level up, management was confused on direction and was terrible at prioritizing. One example is having my bonus tied to the number of people that could be hired in a year at a company level despite being an engineer. Games that showed no promise were scaled up at the wrong time and those that did show promise were abandoned. They laid off almost everyone in Bellevue and then opened roles in Texas too which is a super classy move.
