      I truly hope it gets better

      Pros

      I have met the nicest, most talented and caring artists and producers at this company, and those people will remain the best memories I have of my time at Airship. Every single person loves the incredible art they produce, and that alone is tremendously motivating.

      Cons

      I will not detail every single issue, as the C-suite is aware of all of those, yet they seem to have trouble acknowledging and solving them. However, the main ones are distrust of the C-suite and a huge lack of communication between departments. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this company to anyone at this time. I truly wish for things to improve, and for the C-suite to face and address the employees' complaints. Between the bad decisions and the disregard for the employee's well-being and mental health - it is not worth the stress and the low morale.

      Pros

      Nice people and great work

      Cons

      but the HR is sorely lacking in helping the employees or even talking to them. Feels like we are in two different companies.

      AVOID! Bad pay and morale, not worth the stress

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      The artists care about what they are making and want to do their best and help other staff. If you are deemed worthy enough to work on a project you want, you might get a chance. Remote working is standard as the office is in an awkward town. Core hours

      Cons

      - Management will under bid tasks and blame artists or production when work isn’t done you see crunch. - HR gossip with artists and provide information that shouldn’t be given out. E.G, personal opinions on staff and reasons for disciplinary meetings. - HR are unhelpful and never in office, if you have a problem you have to E-mail a bucket E-mail and hope for a response in three days at minimum. If you are lucky, the current average response is three weeks. - Production are run thin as there isn’t enough in the team. - Not enough members of staff. Management rely on using freelancers that are found through LinkedIn the day before a project starts and majority of the time the artist isn’t suited for the job. - CEO/COO never come into the office, COO lives a 10 minute drive away from the office but doesn’t come in. - There is no management in office, if there is a problem then the staff have to either speak to the building management or wait for management to come in. - There is no benefits to working at Airship, you get barely enough to make a cup of tea every day. - Management have no experience in the video game industry and don’t keep up with the latest news from the industry. - Location of current office and new office are difficult to commute to. Management claim new office is in Manchester when it’s outside of Greater Manchester. - Not enough software licenses for the whole company to use, people have to message the whole office to ask for a spare license. - Staff are considered numbers. - HR don’t address rumours even when asked about them.

I can assure you that our People Team uphold confidentiality regarding all employee matters. Our People Team will always ensure that they are available to meet with our crew and meetings aren't cancelled unless something urgent crops up, and a re-arranged meeting will always be scheduled back in. That being said, I cannot find any instance where a member of the People Team has cancelled a meeting request last minute without a follow up being arranged. It's disappointing that you haven't taken the opportunity to raise any of these concerns directly with us during your time here. If you would like to take this conversation offline, please contact our People & Talent team directly via email, where we will be happy to have a chat with you one-on-one about what you have raised here.
