Talented ICs, Delusional Management - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Singularity 6

Working at S6 was like a dream. The entire team was fantastic, the content we made was fun to work on, and there was a lot of room for personal growth. The technical challenges were always fruitful and we learned as we resolved them. S6 truly feels like being part of a family. Everyone works together. The seniors/leads are very kind and patient in explaining technicalities and they make sure you understand the reason for things to work the way they do. If you want to learn and grow in your discipline, S6 is the place to do it. Not to mention you'll get to work on some amazing content! The best part of it all, in my opinion, is the team dynamics. Being a skilled professional is important, but couple that with a great personality and you have the perfect colleagues. I did not meet a single employee at S6 that did not fit this bill.

There's very little I could complain about when it comes to S6... if anything, I would say that sometimes the scoping for deliverables and random pivoting sometimes makes it a little hard to focus on personal technical growth. Such is the nature of startups, though.

Great immediate coworkers, talented and dedicated folks. Was able to grow a lot in a short period of time. Unlimited PTO and decent healthcare plan.

The leadership of S6 truly drove Palia into the ground. It breaks my heart that a project where ~200 folks poured themselves into got ruined by poor decision making made by a handful of people. They hired massively talented people, truly the best in the industry, just to ignore their wisdom and experience. Initially the studio prided themselves in taking care of one another, but the last couple years it has been asking people who are running on empty to keep pushing further, Exhaustive and repetitive. Some folks became ill from overwork. Leadership had and still has very little diversity, which is painfully noticeable in the type of decisions taken. Team structuring creates massive silo-ing and strong "our team vs. yours" in terms of output. Very little collaboration is possible, slowing the whole project down. Never worked at a place so inefficient.
