Good people, questionable management - Programmer Resolution Games Employee Review

Amazing work environment with a focus on not just quality and excellence, but also employee well-being. Great place to not only work, but also learn from some of the industry's best to help grow one's own skills. CEO/Management are great to work for, passionate about the company, it's employees and the goals of both the company and the people that work for them.

As in many quickly growing industries, this will require some people to wear multiple hats to accomplish what is needed. Things can change rather quickly so might be a difficult place for those who are used to working in one, singular role/aren't too keen on the "Agile Workflow."

- Working with new XR headsets - Some fun colleagues especially on the art side - Battlemarked/Demeo is a nice game to work on (although the main people behind it are gone)

- No good game project and only b2b projects left that are barely games - Existing games are very generic and the main game designers have all left during the past years - Extremely toxic and incompetent management, Both executive team and middle managers - Not a single competent line manager (technical lead) or producer which causes them to back stab each other and colleagues to keep their positions. Most of them also have no industry experience except in Resolution Games - Amount of politics played for such a small number of people is crazy - CCO and CEO are extremely hard to work with and at the same time incompetent. It doesn't help at all that they micromanage every project too very poorly) - Roles are given based on nepotism and sucking up to the CEO - Career path is completely non-existent - Nearly all good talent has left and the rest is desperately looking to leave - You will very soon notice that so many people in their roles are old friends with the CEO - WFH cancelled out of nowhere on the CEO's whim alongside all other benefits - Two rounds of layoffs until now and still nothing looks better financially I would say only join if you have absolutely no other choice and even then plan for leaving asap
