Things have changed a lot since the success of Monopoly Go!. A lot of VPs and SVPs from Zynga, EA, Riot, Bungie, etc have latched onto the payday at the company and it's impossible to do your job even as a senior level individual contributor without engaging in Game of Thrones level politics. You need to elbow your way through everyone to carve out a place for yourself and prove your value or they'll drop you.
With their massive growth since 2020, the company had to get really good at recruiting. They will do whatever they can to convince you to join. Roll out the red carpet and pay BIG money to have you leave what you are doing behind to join them.
Unfortunately, they did not put that kind of effort into being good at retaining their employees or hiring managers that can help with the growth of the talent they've acquired. A big reason most people who were here before Monopoly Go are still here are because of the money they can make here. The secret is to keep your head down and do just enough to get by the review period so you can keep getting the Scopely Incentive Units which take 3 years to fully vest.
Product outlook is really bad right now. Unlikely that any of these products in development will hit like Monopoly Go did, but they are expecting them all to and spending (er wasting) a lot of money because some SVP told them that if they spent that money they could make a billion dollars. The company slate is being run by people who ran failed products and slates at several other companies and failed their way into this position by playing the game.
Really sad to see the state of the company right now.
