Pros

New office is very clean and full of light. The old dump was Mordor. Camaraderie was awesome. I was proud to be a Jam Citizen. We had a lot of respect and we all went above and beyond to help each other out. Until three weeks ago...

Cons

The primary investor has decided to execute 'constructive dismissal' via a return to office mandate. Jam City has been hiring remote employees for many years to get the best talent possible. Only a third of my fellow employees live in California, which means Net Marble is trying to fire a vast majority of the employees without paying them severance. In fact, the new CEO has decided that no one will be paid relocation. On top of that, there are rumors of a layoff so you might move on your own dime to LA and then get canned. If we are in dire straits and need to save money and pay back a loan to the company where is also the CEO (Kabam), then why is he paying for lots of new office space, desks, office equipment, etc.?

Pros

- smart, creative people - fun IP

Cons

JC used to be an amazing place to work. High trust, inclusive, and accommodating. With new leadership all of that has been killed. If a company wants to call everyone back into the office, that is a business decision and I won't sit in judgement of it. But how you execute such a culture rattling and life impacting change MATTERS. Leadership has chosen the least ethical and empathetic path possible offering little notice, very few exceptions, zero financial support for relocation, and a big brother approach to monitoring in office attendance. Turnover has spiked including many of the top performing employees fleeing en mass. This appears part of leadership's plan to make working conditions so intolerable people quit so they don't have to execute a layoff. Along with new leadership has come a new excessive drinking culture. No joke! Drinking till all hours of the evening is the normal now in LA.
