Vantaggi
I highly doubt I would have received the opportunity I did at another company. Many of the people I’ve worked with here are amazing, intelligent, creative, show great leadership, and are a lot of fun to work with. Unfortunately, most of what made Big Fish great has dissipated under current leadership and it’s hard to imagine the good things/people will be around much longer.
Svantaggi
Last fall, 15% of the company was laid off so the new president could restructure. Upper level executives were brought in that had all previously worked with the new president in the past, some of whom had little experience in mobile game development. In the last year, the environment in our office has become extremely toxic and fear based and no longer cares about the people in the company. Our leadership doesn’t have a strong strategy to create hit games and it extremely evident from all his actions that Jeff Karp does not care about his employees.
