Pros

ProbablyMonsters used to pay well and have very generous policies. It was a place where you could connect with great developers and have fun creating games.

Cons

Unfortunately, this place has turned into a fear-filled hell-hole where employees are now just collecting a paycheck in silence waiting for the company to shut down. Recruiting is shameless in spinning fantasy stories about what a "great, people-first culture" ProbablyMonsters is. Don't be fooled. This place abuses employees and tramples on their dignity. HR & Leadership in general are petty and vindictive, firing anyone who disagrees or voices minimal concerns with their decisions. The CEO only listens to his talentless friends and insists no one report to him. How on earth do you have a CEO with no reports??? What value do you bring?

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.
