Morally Bankrupt - Anonymous employee Mad Engine Employee Review

I have been with the company for 5 years now and have had a really positive experience overall. Under the current CEO, leadership is really supportive, I have a great Legal manager, and the work I do feels meaningful. I’ve gained a lot of valuable, transferable experience working on complex issues and have continued to grow professionally. I’ve learned a lot both working with my boss and through the work I’ve been assigned. The overall team culture is respectful and professional, and it’s great being surrounded by hardworking, collaborative, smart people who are always willing to go the extra mile and help out!

Communication and cross-functional access to information could sometimes be more streamlined.

Interesting and structured processes fast paced

Favoritism was a major issue, with job security and advancement often based on relationships rather than performance. Leadership lacked accountability, and quality standards were inconsistent—management would bypass failed products while holding meetings about poor quality and customer complaints. Communication from higher-ups was mostly negative and often the only time they engaged with employees. Concerns raised by staff frequently led to negative treatment instead of resolution, including supervisors berating and even bullying employees for things unrelated to work. Overall, the work environment was filled with unnecessary drama.
