Vantaggi
DWG has incredibly talented and creative people, especially in product, design, and engineering — the teams are passionate about building fun, high-quality games. There’s a lot of opportunity to collaborate cross-functionally and be hands-on with different aspects of the business. The office is well situated and they do seem aware that there change is needed. The office hours a great and I appreciate the hybrid opportunity - teams connecting in person cannot be undervalued.
Svantaggi
The company culture tends to favor long-established ways of working and has limited openness to new ideas or process changes.
Training lacked structure and documentation, which made onboarding inconsistent and overly reliant on individual knowledge-holders.
There was no access to a 401(k) plan for a full year (even for rollovers), and no option for a Flexible Spending Account (FSA).
PTO follows a more traditional accrual model with limited flexibility.
Account management processes were highly manual and outdated, with no centralized system of record and significant duplication of effort.
Success metrics within the commercial team were unclear and often driven by subjective impressions rather than data - especially following the decision to discontinue the use of a CRM.
