Stifling culture of blame and mediocrity - Anonymous employee Dire Wolf Digital Employee Review

Pros

This is a company full of talented and passionate people who really do want to make good games.

Cons

Unfortunately, that talent and passion is stifled by poor planning, poor management, and a constant drive to achieve the minimum viable product. From overly reactive planning to drawn out postmortems and finger pointing when last minute changes put products at risk, there is very little room left for the amazing people to showcase their talents here. Combine that with low pay and a political requirement for 9 hour days as a norm (company hours are 9 - 6 with no flex whatsoever, though you can take a 1 hour lunch if you choose), and you end up with a majority of the company being mostly burnt out and just getting by.

Pros

Dire Wolf employs some very talented designers and engineers. There is a lot to learn from this team.

Cons

The work is fairly consistent in theming. If you like board games, this is a fantastic place to work. If not, it might be something you get tired of.

Pros

Good company and good people working here. Flexibility with remote work is nice. New projects to work on often which helps with project fatigue.

Cons

Communication up the chain isn't always the best. Personal salary growth is really difficult here.
