Pros

Some great people to work with. The annual off-site/3 day party is a lot of fun. Fully remote environment.

Cons

Leadership doesn't seem to know how to lead. A lot of culture shifts in a short period of time. It changed from a friendly, highly cooperative environment to becoming very brutal, uncaring and cut throat high stress environment. Impossible to get promoted now with the new framework.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and for the time you spent with Gametime United. We’re glad you enjoyed working with our team and our annual off-sites. We’re sorry to hear that recent changes have not met your expectations. The shift in our culture towards a more performance-driven environment is intended to align with our long-term strategic goals, but we understand that rapid changes can be challenging and may impact team morale. Your feedback is crucial, and we take it seriously. We’re committed to refining our approach to ensure that our culture shift is implemented in a thoughtful and supportive manner. Leadership is actively working on improving how we manage these transitions to support all team members better. Thank you again for your candid feedback.

Pros

Working at Gametime means showing up as your full self — and being valued for it. I have the autonomy to own my work end-to-end, and a leadership team that genuinely welcomes candid dialogue. The people here are exceptionally kind, and the problems we solve are meaningful and energizing. What sets Gametime apart is the access to genuinely forward-thinking technology in an industry where that's rare — it makes the work feel exciting every single day.

Cons

As a growing company, some processes and systems are still being built out. If you're someone who needs everything fully defined and structured from day one, it can take some adjustment — but if you lean into it, that's also where the most interesting work lives.

Pros

- Remote first company - Employees that became like family over the years - Honestly nothing else

Cons

- Fire and hire culture. They are quick to assume that the problem with Gametime's growth is the people, so they are quick to fire whole teams or departments without understanding the underlying issues - You're expected to work more with less. While staff is dwindling, existing staff must pick up the pieces - Leadership and staff turnovers are huge; most of the executive team is traded out every year or so - Little promotions or raises , the expectation is you should be happy you're not fired or laid off. - Little psychological safety
