“People First” - Artist ProbablyMonsters Employee Review

Pros

Worked with some of the best and most talented devs here. Despite a lot of challenges thrown our way by upper management, we always did our best to pull through.

Cons

One of the company’s primary values upon its inception was “People First”. We were told this value was meant to hold its employees’ well-beings in high regard, and that we were going to build a place where devs could have long prosperous careers. In actuality it meant “Who will bare the consequences of leadership’s poor choices? ‘People First’.” What a horribly embarrassing, cynical thing to list as a primary value. This is the kind of management style that breeds the kind of cynicism and jadedness that is so pervasive among senior developers.

Pros

Pay was good, great benefits, they assembled a number of really great teams that had a ton of passion. Received a sign on bonus and severance.

Cons

From the director level up, management was confused on direction and was terrible at prioritizing. One example is having my bonus tied to the number of people that could be hired in a year at a company level despite being an engineer. Games that showed no promise were scaled up at the wrong time and those that did show promise were abandoned. They laid off almost everyone in Bellevue and then opened roles in Texas too which is a super classy move.
