Nice culture, but a lot of problems - Anonymous employee 5th Planet Games Employee Review

Pros

Very focused on company culture and making sure employees are happy. Management believes in a healthy work/life balance.

Cons

Several people who hamper things are kept around even though they're hurting operations. Management will listen to your concerns, but either forget or ignore them. Crippling lack of organization really hurts progress: During my time there, company structure was changed pretty drastically several times, but the chain of command was undercut by both staff and COs within a couple of weeks. It's not uncommon to be assigned more and more responsibilities, but for no extra pay or recognition.

Pros

Nothing anymore, see cons for explanation.

Cons

The acquisition put people in charge that do not understand games nor the market. The expectations seemed fair but it was all a lie as they pulled the rug out from under the only studio that was doing anything right. We just released a game that has immense potential and great numbers. The lack of understanding of core games probably just put the nail in the coffin for the company, not just our studio. The team that had been 5th planet for all these years is completely gone.
