Overall, a great place to work
|
|
Talented, cohesive staff. Fun project. It was a pleasure to work there.
|
Possible issues with executive-level communication? Specifically, most of the staff believed something specific related to the main project. It was a surprise to many of the staff when it was revealed in a meeting that what they believed, wasn't true. Otherwise, communications from executive-level were fine.

Great working experience - uncertain future
|
|
Big Fish Games is simply a fun place to work. The culture is very friendly, collaborative, and overall positive. As expected from a gaming company it's nerdy, in a good way, and the people here are definitely passionate. Good vibes. It's also currently remote-friendly, although the company is looking to focus their hiring on specific locations so it may not stay that way for long. The pay is not amazing compared to tech in general, but that's pretty common in gaming companies, and the benefits as a whole are great. Overall, it's a very fun place to work, and it's pretty much free of the crunch that happens in so many other gaming companies.
|
Big Fish Games has recently undergone several rounds of layoffs in the span of a few months. Although these rounds were part of the latest wave of layoffs that hit the whole tech and gaming industries, it isn't the first time this has happened in the past few years. Combine that with low pay increases and pretty long promotion times, and you don't get the sense that this is the best place for career development. The company has also struggled to decide if it wants to focus on being a publisher or try its hand at being a studio.

Avoid overhiring and then laying off employees, even if other gaming companies are doing it.

Out of touch C-level execs
|
|
Office was kind of nice
There used to be opportunity for travel
|
Lots of fly-by-night executives would come in and talk a big game about doing something, then it would fall on the actual people who did work to do it. Then there was no acknowledgement when something was done, or it would fail, and that exec was onto their next high paid "gig". The execs that did stick around were an impenetrable clique-y grossly-overpaid group. Several literally had yachts. New ideas almost always fell on deaf ears. Now it's mostly a zombie company that's rusting out.
