SHOULD have been a great company

Pros

Great people (not upper management) who are passionate about playing and creating games Remote Not micromanaged

Cons

Management can be difficult to get in contact with, sometimes left without tasks for weeks. Which sounds nice but ends up being frustrating when you're thrown around and expected to just sit and wait for tasks. Projects are constantly getting canceled. Very unorganized and projects are poorly planned. Pay MUCH lower than the average salary for the title/experience Severely lacking diversity I was let go with a decent sized percent of the company in what the company claimed was the most humane way to go about it. They had a company wide meeting telling everyone that people were getting laid off and they would find out by receiving a message from the CEO within the next hour which only caused company wide panic and fear. The CEO then proceeds to dryly tell you you've been laid off with no explanation as to why you but only emphasizes that its not performance based. They then further explain that the founder will follow up with "unemployment benefits" which was the founder completely avoiding the conversation by ignoring messages and sending an email THE FOLLOWING DAY saying you're not getting any severance and that the are "so sorry".

Chaotic and poorly managed

Pros

Some cool projects and people. Remote, little oversight most of the time.

Cons

If it weren't for employees taking on multiple job duties and going above and beyond things would fall apart fast. Upper management is in name only and often they only make more work and more mess then if they simply didn't get involved. Bonuses were promised for going the extra mile, contributing to pitches and helping out, I have yet to see anyone receive a bonus. They claim to care about their employees but when concerns are raised, they are ignored or blamed for the issue. Communication in general is lacking, misleading or confusing, causing employees to navigate through tight deadlines, technical challenges and big decision making on their own, something that could be easily avoided if anyone at the top actually wanted to do their jobs. Several important roles like HR, or book keeping have remained unfilled for well over a year and issues frequently arise due to the lack of having anyone in said role. When I first got this job I was so excited and things seemed good for a while. The more I became involved and the longer I have been here the more disappointed and frustrated I have become. If you decide to work here, hold your boundaries strong and take everything you are told with a grain of salt.

Great group of artists and game developers. Fun projects from apps and web games to connected toys and exhibits/attractions. Great location in Rochester NY. Weekly yoga Flexible schedule Across the street from Good Luck and good restaurants.

Cons

Has all of the pros and cons of being a small company of 30 to 40 people.
