Leadership is lost and winging it everyday!

Pros

Great perks, plenty food (you'll never be hungry), good benefits and a great office location.

Cons

Leadership has no idea what is needed to run an effective operations department. The execs are solely focused on the product and have no idea how finance, HR, IT, and operations should be run. They try to act concerned (well one does more than the other) but its very carsalesmanish rather than real concern or empathy. The other is just rude and unapproachable. Not one of the heads of the operation department are qualified and they are lucky to be in their roles because they all lack the knowledge and experience necessary to lead those departments. There is high turnover and a ton of disgruntled employees. Many feel unsupported by their managers with no path for growth or useful feedback. Leaving this toxic environment was the best decision!

Amazing studio!

Pros

Pros: Company culture, employees are great, pushed to do excel and do your best. Senior management has really improved. They want to hear your ideas and are willing to help to get the job done. Amazing benefits and perks. I've been in games for a long time and this is hands down the best studio that you could work for.

Cons

Like most jobs there can be some very stressful times. Some of the tools we have could be updated but that's my opinion. Really I don't have any cons but thought I should write something.
