A Leadership Nightmare in Game Development

Hr manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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?

Believe the poor reviews.

Pros

As all other comments suggest, great pay and good benefits.

Cons

Nepotism used to run rampant but it’s nearly a skeleton crew now in every department. HR is a joke and are likely the only 4 and 5 star reviews on this site. Knee jerk reactions from upper management gives people whiplash. Upper management has absolutely no idea how to move this company forward and somehow the board still believes the CEO is capable of turning things around. Constant fear of job security, games getting shut down left and right (almost weekly). If the job market was better, this company would be belly up by the end of the month.
