Improbable Reviews

CEO has chosen half a dozen different directions to take the company (a schizophrenic vision) CEO is hyperactive and undisciplined. Does handstands in meetings - literally - but expects to be respected. Not long after the company's creation, a deeply hierarchical management structure and secretive decision making culture were formed. Often actions out-weigh actual resources. A lot of young upstarts with Cambridge degrees who don't respect seasoned advice. A lot of big talk with no actual product or services shipped. Promising tech that doesn't uphold the promise. Boy's club vibe. Earning a flaky and dishonest reputation in the games sector.

- Strategic direction takes months to develop by senior management. Management will disappear for all day meetings with little to no input from the wider business. - Operational process is painfully slow and grinding. Expect decisions which should take weeks, to take months here. - Although staff churn is low, company is unwilling to accept or learn from historical mistakes from 1-2 years ago which led to departure of senior staff. - CEO seems unclear on company culture. Says he wants to move the company to be more mature & serious, but then insists on filling company strategy presentations with pictures of Transformers and memes. - CEO is a micromanager, and often changes mind at the last minute for no justifiable reason, holding up months of work. - C-suite has a habit of bringing in senior hires to help ease growing pains, but them completely ignores their advice. "Old hands" seem to have a veto over seasoned advice. - Questionable reputation in the games industry.
