private:kixeye https://www.indeed.com/cmp/kixeye/reviews Oct 23rd, 2019 12:00AM Open Open Open KIXEYE Accounting Manager San Francisco, CA USA Interesting place to work Chaotic upper management style, lower salary, Reactionary C Level, minimal loyalty. Management made big mistakes that failed several products, and the hard working teams took the fallout as mass layoffs ensued. There was also toxic culture in departments outside my team. Bad attitudes trickle from the C-level down. Some of the upper management treated us as disposable and made the work environment uncomfortable. 0.0 0.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 Jan 23rd, 2021 04:49PM Mar 20th, 2021 01:25PM KIXEYE Consumer Goods Leisure Goods

While I was warned about working at Kixeye as it had developed a bad reputation, I had a great time and experience working with them on their Mobile title. The Team I was apart of were all rocks stars and the Title I had the pleasure of taking part in was extremely innovative and game changing. 0.0 0.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 Jan 23rd, 2021 04:49PM Mar 19th, 2021 08:45PM KIXEYE Consumer Goods Leisure Goods
private:kixeye https://www.indeed.com/cmp/kixeye/reviews Mar 24th, 2019 12:00AM Open Open Open KIXEYE Art Director San Francisco, CA 94104 USA Great Company I worked for KIXEYE for about 5 years. During that time i saw the company go through many challenges, but the leadership stayed strong and although i may not have agreed with every decision, i supported them and KIXEYE supported my goals and development. KIXEYE leadership is direct and to the point. I appreciate the 'no politics' environment. Strong leadership, catered lunches, veteran mentors, fun company events, work hard/play hard attitude. Not as many inspiring projects as the past years. 0.0 0.0 4.0 4.0 5.0 4.0 4.0 5.0 Jan 23rd, 2021 04:49PM Mar 20th, 2021 05:52PM KIXEYE Consumer Goods Leisure Goods
private:kixeye https://www.indeed.com/cmp/kixeye/reviews Dec 18th, 2018 12:00AM Open Open Open KIXEYE Gameplay Engineer San Francisco, CA USA Great team, great managers, legacy product, shortsighted executives My team at KIXEYE was unique. We had apparently no drama; we were close, diligent, and professional, and we typically had a sharp focus on what we needed to get done. We were almost never overworked, and the one time we were, the managers learned from it. Our legacy product was a golden goose— keep it and its players happy and healthy, and it will generate lots of revenue fairly consistently. The executives tried a couple times to mess with things for short-term goals, and they brought long-term detriment. In hindsight, there is not so much wisdom at the C-level. Paid well, treated well; free lunches two days of the week; folks were professional Bad exec-level choices 0.0 0.0 4.0 4.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 3.0 Jan 23rd, 2021 04:49PM Mar 19th, 2021 09:18PM KIXEYE Consumer Goods Leisure Goods
private:kixeye https://www.indeed.com/cmp/kixeye/reviews Sep 1st, 2018 12:00AM Open Open Open KIXEYE Associate Software Quality San Francisco, CA USA Great people but out of touch upper management The people I worked directly with were friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and great to work with. It was clear that people who worked there knew what they were talking about and those in technical management positions were on the whole also experienced programmers. However, fluff communication and the tendency to massively overreact were plentiful in upper management, which caused middle management to stress excessively, bringing down everyone. That combined with regular sudden and unexpected layoffs meant that job security was never certain. Catered lunch, good healthcare package, great coworkers twitchy management, always afraid of suddenly getting fired for no reason 1.0 0.0 4.0 2.0 4.0 2.0 4.0 2.0 Jan 23rd, 2021 04:49PM Mar 19th, 2021 09:32PM KIXEYE Consumer Goods Leisure Goods
private:kixeye https://www.indeed.com/cmp/kixeye/reviews Jun 29th, 2018 12:00AM Open Open Open KIXEYE Data Analyst San Francisco, CA USA Great place to learn, bad place to advance KIXEYE was an amazing place to work at. It was my first analytics-related role. Everyone wears a lot of different hats, which pushes them outside of their comfort zone and helps them learn a TON. I'm still grateful for everything I learned there to this day. I still draw on different aspects of my job there in my current role. However, management would constantly shift prioritizes, wasting people's time and work. Employees would bond in solidarity over all the craziness, which was great. However, we felt that management was not organized and that came from the top. Also, most people were underpaid and overworked. But we kept going because of our passion for the industry as well as belief in each other. Great co-workers, opportunity to wear different hats in your role, learn a lot about product development, office in San Francisco Financial District Did not give raises often, did not promote often, management constantly shifting priorities 0.0 0.0 5.0 4.0 4.0 3.0 3.0 1.0 Jan 23rd, 2021 04:49PM Mar 20th, 2021 01:52PM KIXEYE Consumer Goods Leisure Goods
private:kixeye https://www.indeed.com/cmp/kixeye/reviews May 30th, 2018 12:00AM Open Open Open KIXEYE Customer Service Representative San Francisco, CA USA Was a great company I started under a great manager that ended up leaving due to the stress at the company. The new manager was spineless and looked more at how to point fingers at problems than to help solve them. That caused more problems to arise as those working under this manager felt they needed to cover themselves to protect their jobs. The culture is horrible and the upper management seems to hate the customers with their constant drive at doing everything possible to cause the most pain while the players play the game. nothing poor management, stress induced work environment with lack of care for the customer. 0.0 0.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 Jan 23rd, 2021 04:49PM Mar 19th, 2021 09:47PM KIXEYE Consumer Goods Leisure Goods
private:kixeye https://www.indeed.com/cmp/kixeye/reviews Jan 23rd, 2018 12:00AM Open Open Open KIXEYE Principal Data Scientist (consulting) San Francisco, CA USA the worst place I've ever worked when one talks about Culture at Kixeye, it turns out it means a petri dish. Never have I seen such a manifestation of all that is wrong with Silicon Valley "bro" culture, with none of the redeeming benefits. This is a company firing on all one cylinder. Management wants data that re-enforces its pre-conceived notions, and if the data doesn't comport with that , well, let's just get different data. The CEO berates employees regularly. The only thing missing is the Orange Hair and the tweets. Games that should have been released quickly rarely get to fruition due to constantly changing requirements. Oh, wait the food twice a week was pretty ok I was so glad to leave, worst experience ever. 1.0 0.0 1.0 2.0 1.0 2.0 4.0 1.0 Jan 23rd, 2021 04:49PM Mar 19th, 2021 10:17PM KIXEYE Consumer Goods Leisure Goods

I felt like part of the team but also had a lot of autonomy. Some of the business decisions were questionable but the day to day was great and the company offers a rewarding work life balance. 3.0 3.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 Jan 23rd, 2021 04:49PM Mar 20th, 2021 12:40AM KIXEYE Consumer Goods Leisure Goods
