If You Have Options, Look Elsewhere - Anonymous employee Beamdog Employee Review

I’ve seen a great deal of talent churn at Beamdog because the studio is ultimately treated best as stepping stone in your career trajectory. There is significant responsibility and learning potential available at the studio, but they take advantage of your passion, don’t pay well, or promote often. Beamdog’s management attempts to create an employee centric environment, but they are actually fairly corporate and their actions are inconsistent with their outward communication. I’ve found the studio to struggle with workplace transparency. Employees do not have the ability to refute potentially unfair anonymous feedback that affects job performance. Their management have low visibility into their teams and choose to focus on attending a ridiculous amount of meetings instead providing support and enabling the employees under them. Most managers, believe me, employees talk, do not seek feedback and nearly ALL of the department heads and leadership are unaware that they are disliked. In a world where most industry work can done online, Beamdog struggles to stand out as a place to work. If you have options, I’d suggest you look elsewhere.
