private:gearboxsoftware https://www.indeed.com/cmp/gearbox-software/reviews Nov 16th, 2018 12:00AM Open Open Gearbox Software Web Application Developer Plano, TX USA Hostile work environment I was brought in as a contractor to work on some of the web facing sites. Eventually my direct boss quit assigning me work, even after repeatedly asking for more. I eventually quit coming in to the office because I stopped hearing from anyone about any work to do. Even after working with the same people for 8 months not a single person made me feel like I was a member of their team. Everyone I talked to in the company is extremely poor at communication and unwilling to make others feel a part of a team. 2.0 3.0 1.0 3.0 1.0 1.0 3.0 1.0 Jan 22nd, 2021 05:36AM Mar 20th, 2021 04:16PM Gearbox Software
private:gearboxsoftware https://www.indeed.com/cmp/gearbox-software/reviews Sep 12th, 2018 12:00AM Open Open Gearbox Software Contract Level Designer Frisco, TX USA Fun and collaborative work environment Gearbox is very laid-back, in a manner that's really conducive to making sure you get along with the people you're working with and jump-starting the collaboration necessary to make good games. My typical day was as follows: at the start of the day my team would scrum and determine/tell everyone what our tasks for the day were. We'd break for lunch around 1, giving us enough time to group up and go somewhere. Throughout the day we'd be working with the various departments to piece together our project. Management was hands-off and willing to let us try things. Good pay, good work environment Contract position, so no benefits 9.0 1.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 Jan 22nd, 2021 05:36AM Mar 19th, 2021 09:29PM Gearbox Software
private:gearboxsoftware https://www.indeed.com/cmp/gearbox-software/reviews Jul 2nd, 2018 12:00AM Open Open Gearbox Software Play Test intern Frisco, TX USA Short stay with lots of fun Unfortunately I can’t say too much, but from what I experienced at gearbox, I would love to have a full time job there. But my ‘job’ was to play a game and give opinions on the game, including feelings on some story elements.

private:gearboxsoftware https://www.indeed.com/cmp/gearbox-software/reviews Jun 16th, 2017 12:00AM Open Open Gearbox Software Receptionist Plano, TX USA My Favorite Job There isn't anything negative I can say about this company. I was always treated well and felt like a valuable asset. The culture of Gearbox really makes the whole company. I was always happy and excited to come to work and the nature of my work was interesting and fun. This was by far my favorite place to work . 18.0 0.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 Jan 22nd, 2021 05:36AM Mar 19th, 2021 11:22PM Gearbox Software
private:gearboxsoftware https://www.indeed.com/cmp/gearbox-software/reviews Sep 4th, 2016 12:00AM Open Open Gearbox Software Character Animator Plano, TX USA Great Games, Great People Love their games and love their people, which has lead to many strong relationships and close friendships. They're very clearly passionate and go the full length to embrace contractors which has made me feel a part of the team rather than 'that fellow offsite'. 6.0 1.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 Jan 22nd, 2021 05:36AM Mar 20th, 2021 12:07AM Gearbox Software
private:gearboxsoftware https://www.indeed.com/cmp/gearbox-software/reviews Aug 15th, 2013 12:00AM Open Open Gearbox Software Quality Assurance Tester Plano, TX USA Fun place to work in every department except QA Don't expect to move up in this company out of the QA department it's near impossible, you'll be mistreated and overlooked by the one group of guys that you expect to have your back aka The QA Supervisors. Also, the pay is garbage. 44.0 9.0 3.0 1.0 3.0 2.0 2.0 1.0 Jan 22nd, 2021 05:36AM Mar 20th, 2021 03:07PM Gearbox Software

Enjoyed my time as a contractor with them.
