Pros

-Decent employee benefits (what remains of them, at least) -Sometimes rewarding to see what limited social impact your work can have

Cons

-Company has completely lost its identity and continually struggles with trying to rationalize it. It's a start up that wants to be corporate. It's corporate that wants to be a start up. -Limited options for career advancement, anywhere you could go is already squat on by someone -Top positions at the company have deteriorated down to a handful of passive-aggressive egomaniacs -You will eventually be set up for failure or driven out of the company -There is nothing tangible in the company that won't be shed in pursuit of maximizing profit margins, which would work if they were profitable, or had any idea on how to be profitable -Extremely poor communication to the point where basically every new development is done completely underhanded for completely underhanded reasons. You will always be taken by surprise by awful new developments, and your feedback will be heard, ignored, and responded to with annoyance.

Pros

I have been at Humble for a couple of years and I decided to look at the reviews and it became clear that a lot of the negative reviews are based on a very difficult time in the company that we are now through, so I had to give my take. Long story short, this last year for Humble was not easy. There a reorg that impacted a number of people and it was tough. I can happily say that we have made it through this difficult time and are much stronger for it. Work flow is way better, communication is tight, bottom line there is zero drama! Kudos to management for making some tough decisions, we are better for it. Also plus of work from anywhere, very inclusive culture. Overall amazing company that truly live their values.

Cons

Last year was tough. Even though it was the right thing to do it was a challenging year.

Pros

- Fully Remote Work - Working with charities and seeing the effects of the work through revenue reports - Nice perks in quarterly gifts, zoom events, and discounts on games/media

Cons

- Steep learning curve that is used against you despite being warned about it considerably through hiring process. If you aren't pushing yourself to meet inconsistent practices, you're judged unfavorably and are places in a probationary area of the company. - Rude management that treats those who don't follow random, small changes terribly (ie - having face cam on zoom turned on for all meetings) - No consistency in terms of reporting issues with senior staff/management - Mixed messaging about responsibilities - Excluded from department changes if not favored by senior staff. - Concerns were often given 'care' in the moment but tossed to the side after a certain period of time - Strong-armed into participation of arbitrary rules with the threat of probationary action if not followed - Random meetings with HR staff under senior management without any forewarning, which could be followed by on-spot terminations
