Great team which can't succeed due to bad leadership

Pros

1) Unlimited PTO policy [conditional] 2) Great team members 3) Long-term work-from-home policy

Cons

1) INCREDIBLY LOW compensation; we're talking below the lower band of the average. 2) Lackluster-to-nonexistent infrastructure and tech support; game development process and pipeline is held together with duct tape and hope. 3) No clear strategy; upper management's only stated goal for the company is to "make a billion dollar game," and no one in a decision-making position has a passion for or understanding of video games. Decisions are made based only on analytics and spreadsheets in support of efforts to replicate existing successful games on a much cheaper budget and with a much smaller team. 4) Bad leadership; across all disciplines there is a noticeable lack of direction and leadership, with most individuals in a leadership role passing the buck to someone else in lieu of making a decision themselves. The executive level remains detached at the "30,000 ft view," and middle management is full of individuals who have stuck around long enough to achieve seniority but no leadership ability.

Great people but no passion

Pros

- unlimited PTO - work from home - great people and environment

Cons

- expect lowest pay. just get experiences and leave. - "feedbacks" for games are welcome, but managements ultimately decide what is good and what is not. Most of the times, they are stubborn and most of feedbacks are overruled. And they are not much of gamers themselves, so their decisions end up adapting feedbacks. - their goal is to make the best mobile game ever, but they don't realize that what they do is pretty much copy/paste of other existing games. There's not even a bit of twist. Just gathering different bits from different games.
