      Still Good Company, but Currently Under Poor Corporate Leadership

      Principal software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Flexible Work Environment (FWE), where you can roughly set your own daily hours and even work from home as much as is practical for your current tasks. There are also still quite a few very talented and knowledgeable developers, particularly in the programming department, but those numbers are dwindling quickly under the current continued mismanagement by Deep Silver and Koch.

      Cons

      Currently Deep Silver and Koch are effectively running Volition into the ground, with much of our senior staff and most of our studio level management having either been laid off or resigned within the past few months, including numerous employees with 20+ years at Volition. There's still probably time to turn things around, but things really need to start improving soon, or there won't be much left of the heart and soul of this great studio.

      Bat place to work

      Senior artist

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Low cost of living, remote work available. Flexible work environment. Great culture among the content creators and lower management. Focus on diversity and welcoming atmosphere.

      Cons

      Always behind industry trends Chronic understaffing. Micromanagement. Poor leadership. Uncompetitive salary. Very few bonuses which are always small when they are given. Severe overdependence on outsourcing. Constant delays make games take forever to release which end up un-polished. Stagnant game design philosophy leads to non-competitive mediocre products. IP can never escape the shadow of other games that dominate the genre, but are given higher weight than the more unique IP's the studio has produced. Scheduling leads to burnout. Little room for employee skill growth.

      Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback. Your point about hiring more senior people is well-taken, and we’ve already added some new studio-level hires who are really going to level up the studio and our capacity to focus on employee development. We're also continuing to add more resources for continuous, on-the-job training. We sincerely appreciate the review and wish you the best of luck wherever your career takes you.
