MobilityWare Reviews

Pros

The company has tried very hard to be flexible during the pandemic. They make sure we have the correct equipment, the communication has been frequent and people check on one another on a regular basis. The teams are trying hard to come up with new game ideas and working together to make 2021 a profitable, awesome year.

Cons

Any company has room for improvement and each individual can think of something different that would be a "con" for them. I think everyone at Mobilityware is really trying their best.

Pros

- Family-friendly - company really treats employees like family members with good life-work balance and flexible hours - Collaborative working environment - people support each other and love to mentor / share knowledge. Good ideas are valued no matter where they come from - Good benefits - good health / dental / insurance; unlimited PTO (no question asked as long as it's reasonable); annual company trip for all employees plus family - Overall -MobilityWare is a good place if this is your first job, or you simply want to collect a stable paycheck

Cons

- Lack of innovation - the company may not be as "innovative" as you'd expect from a game studio. Upper management is conservative and tends to follow proven strategies / examples, rather than to take risk and try out new ideas - Undiversified portfolio - following the above point, the company still relies on a few classic card games as its pillar, which could be a potential risk for growth - Limit room for personal learning / growth - this may differ depending on the team / role, but because of the 2 points above, there are not many opportunities for learning new knowledge / skills once you are fully onboard - Overall - MobilityWare may not be the ideal place if you seek frequent challenges or look for fast growth

Pros

Lunch used to be provided on Friday,

Cons

Management is unethical where they steal ideas and solutions from the staff and present them as if such ideas and solutions were theirs. Also, they are very unprofessional and rude Worst yet, when such unethical and unprofessional conducts were reported to HR, HR retaliates. HR then posts fake responses to company reviews on Glassdoor, where they make false claim that they take the reports of those unethical and unprofessional conducts as "feedback".

Pros

-Nice benefits and perks -Family feel work environment -Very stable company in an often times unstable industry -Company knows it's identity in the industry and wants to continue to work on projects it knows it can succeed in -Very large following of our games

Cons

-No stock options but does offer annual bonuses -Only one location which means limited opportunities outside of Orange County, CA

Pros

* Autonomy for employees and team to work on what is best for the players * Clear communication from leadership on goals for studio * Game is developed by the team as much as the managers. Everyone has a voice for feedback on the games and everything is discussed * Fast, small development cycles lead to frequent releases, providing feedback on the work you are doing * Game Jams happen regularly and are very well organized

Cons

* No equity. There are bonuses every year based on the studio's performance, though. * Large workload with smaller staff means that not everything gets done as we prioritize resources * A lot of time spend on game library integrations, impacting feature velocity of dev teams.

Pros

1. company keep profit year by year. 2. projects are very interesting and fun.

Cons

The video game industry change very fast.

Pros

- Some good people to work (although some are no longer in full time roles and/or don't have much influence) - Relatively stable mobile game company with runway from their Solitaire games - Difficult to get fired (a con for some teams)

Cons

- Mostly incompetent leadership that's both out of touch with the industry and is not data-driven; often gets in the way or sets their teams back years (decades) in their decision making - Favoritism toward bad apples who don't pull their weight, a culture lacking accountability and follow through has developed at the detriment of those willing to put in the work - Teams/individuals are often scapegoated by leadership for issues that are a result of the leadership's decisions
