Good at first, now should be avoided - Software Engineer ProbablyMonsters Employee Review

Pros

High pay, generous PTO and flexibility. At first, cultural values were understood and respected by everyone I met at the company which sold me on the position.

Cons

Like many AAA studios, the leadership doesn't actually understand how games are built, but how to sell them. This has sealed my intentions that AAA studios are more broken than ever. I've worked at companies knowing aspects were toxic going in, but it is very disappointing that the company that was supposed to provide humane values and creative freedom is just as bad if not worse. I will work elsewhere in technology or only pursue indie projects in the future.

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.
