Out of touch leadership, punishing workload

Producer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits package, unlimited time off for those actually able to use it

Cons

Ever-decreasing team sizes with a "do more with less" directive coming from leadership, execs' visions and goals are not in line with reality, no training given to leadership resulting in leads who know nothing about managing people

Great place to work growing pains aside

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Benefits such as competitive pay (for the games industry), daily catered lunches, great insurance, unlimited PTO (for US employees), and quarterly bonuses - A general drive to want to create the best and most innovative tools possible - Smart acquisitions for long term success - Still a private company lead by longtime industry veterans

Cons

- Growing pains, since I've been here the company has grown to almost 8 times the number - Big plans for the future, coupled with uncertainty of success leads to a lot of pressure felt company-wide - Often delivering developer tools as a service to be updated over time rather than when they are finished and polished - Fast paced environment with very little structure for the size, often feels like multiple little teams operate independently from each other
