      Worst Place I have ever Worked

      Software engineer - front end

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice Office. Free Parking. Free Lunch, half the time.

      Cons

      Horrible technology stack. Horrible management (for the most part). Dead-end job roles. Favoritism. Front-end and Back-end development occur in different offices and there is almost no collaboration between the two.

      Bad Experience, Avoid CEO, Possible Seeded Positive Reviews of CEO.

      Pros

      - Good working environment in studios (CEO works from Vegas HQ). - Good benefits, including fully covered health insurance costs. - Ability to just coast along and collect paychecks, if that’s what you want to do. - Amazing holiday parties.

      Cons

      The business is a dictatorship, where everything must be blessed by one person, the CEO. No matter what level of success or failure happens, everything revolves around the CEO. Staff who are prepared to question the CEO are quickly moved out of the business and replaced by friends and family who vow allegiance to the CEO. This leads to a situation where other members of the executive team are powerless. In some respects it’s similar to the Republican Party aligning themselves 100% behind Trump, to save their job they are probably forced to agree with every decision the CEO makes. It’s hard to blame the exec team if this is the case, in order to save their positions, shares and benefits they have no option. Career progression, especially for Artists, is very limited, where only the favored few are blessed by the CEO and means creativity is limited. Warning, many of the recent reviews on Glassdoor look suspicious and are probably seeded or encouraged by the CEO.

      Thank you for your comments. We regret that we did not provide you with a more effective, internal channel for sharing your critique. If you check the pages of nearly any company on glassdoor, you’re likely to find a mix of reviews. In any business, a range of conditions and outcomes exist. In every company’s history, there will be a mix of setbacks and success, of difficulty and ease. The bottom line is that no one has the same experience. Nor do they have the full picture. The best thing we can do is to pool our collective wisdom in order to make the best and most transparent business decisions. Again, thank you for your input. We know that it will make us a better company in the end. If there is anything else you would like to share, please contact humanresources@playstudios.com.

      Good people, bad management

      Pros

      The people you work with are all great.

      Cons

      The company is built on the CEO not trusting anyone and that propagates down. The past is below industry standards at best.
