Great place to work growing pains aside
Great place to work growing pains aside
- Benefits such as competitive pay (for the games industry), daily catered lunches, great insurance, unlimited PTO (for US employees), and quarterly bonuses - A general drive to want to create the best and most innovative tools possible - Smart acquisitions for long term success - Still a private company lead by longtime industry veterans
- Growing pains, since I've been here the company has grown to almost 8 times the number - Big plans for the future, coupled with uncertainty of success leads to a lot of pressure felt company-wide - Often delivering developer tools as a service to be updated over time rather than when they are finished and polished - Fast paced environment with very little structure for the size, often feels like multiple little teams operate independently from each other
- Don't try to force people back in the office, creating incentives seem to be working from my point of view and that may alienate otherwise top talent - Don't forego pursuing products without continuous delivery, not everything we create needs to follow the live service model - Do keep sharing the successes and shortcomings with the employees, cultivating employee invested interests - Do maintain deliberate and targeted hires, quality over quantity

The first round was a video call interview. This was terrible; they canceled the interview 30 minutes before without any reason. I had no idea what happened. They didn't even send an explanation.
