Coasting on PGO while trying to shove their platform where it doesn’t belong
Coasting on PGO while trying to shove their platform where it doesn’t belong
Passionate coworkers.
OK benefits.
The CEO is a software guy that doesn’t understand games or entertainment and meddles in the decision-making of people that do.
The ARGeo platform is prioritized above all else, even PGO. If you don’t give them what they want, prepare for your career to stall.
The company doesn’t believe in designed experiences. All products are shallow because they treat their artists and designers like third-class citizens.
There is very little actual mentoring and career guidance at the company.
DEI is lip service.
Sexism and favoritism run rampant in annual reviews. See the ongoing lawsuit.
The hybrid policy was forced on employees despite major productivity gains when we were WFH.
The CEO has final approval of remote exemption requests. A massive waste of everyone’s time.
Sell the AR side of the company before it’s too late.
You've officially made the company PGO + AR Platform + AR web advertising platform, but your AR platform delivers little more than the mobile OS AR modules.
VPS has been beaten to the punch by Google. Apple’s ARKit is still the best toolkit for creating AR experiences, and Unity is still the easiest AR toolset for building native mobile experiences.
Please sell the company before a large competitor cleanly and competently solves AR contextual awareness.
