    Pros

    WildWorks has attracted some of the best creative talent on the planet. Their dedicated team of artists, 3d modelers, and engineers are among the best in the business. It was a pleasure working and learning alongside many of them.

    Cons

    Management is lacking clear and dedicated direction. One of the executives lacks the basic skills required to build and motivate a team. They should be kept to counting money.

    Pros

    I love so many of my coworkers on the design and production end of the spectrum. The work itself is fun and flexible and I have a lot of creative freedom.

    Cons

    -The entertainment industry itself is undependable. -There have been multiple major layoffs in the few years I've worked at Wildworks. -Due to those layoffs, I have had MANY more responsibilities added to my workload without ANY additional compensation. -I have been asking for a raise for two years with nothing but empty promises in return.

    Alright Place to Work at

    Pros

    talented people, great superior, awesome at Halloween party deco and social challenges throughout the year. Dope office, top floor with insane view of mountains, etc. Great to give a lap around the building on breaks and no problem with parking. Great health insurance, and I liked the match up to 3% towards 401k. Flexible hours as long as you are inside core hours as part of your hours. Understanding company, they usually are open to adjustment to accommodate you. Great innovation days and Lagoon (old days ).

    Cons

    Not very transparent, multiple unexpected lay-offs throughout the years (which doesn't make it reliable). A fair amount of crunching or cutting features due to bad production/management. After leaving the company I realized my salary wasn't even close to a fair salary, so be smart when you give your numbers. Not very clear how to grow in the company.

    Pros

    The position I was in allowed for great work/life balance and great flexibility. I learned a lot about online moderation and worked with many great colleagues and the Community management team was helpful.

    Cons

    Hours can vary from week to week and upward mobility was limited.

    A fine place to work

    Mar 8, 2021 - Anonymous Employee

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    - Great work/life balance--no mandatory crunch. I'm able to work my hours and then go home, and crunch culture is not the law of the land here. - New production staff that are doing good work to tighten up the way things are run, get development running smoother, and better ensure there isn't crunch across any teams. - Diversity on the rise. It's been a process, and while the company still isn't perfect, there are more people fighting to steer the ship in the right direction. More diverse hires means more accountability and change for the better. I hope! (The alt-right employee mentioned in another review no longer works here either and that's quite a boon) - I enjoy the work I do, I love being able to work on products for kids and teens to enjoy. The company cares about the products they make and the people who make them. - I've had opportunities to expand my responsibilities in meaningful ways because my teammates/supervisors listen to what I have to contribute.

    Cons

    - Lack of a proper HR system. If I have a problem that requires nuance, I need to go through a supervisor.

    Company on life support

    Pros

    Your coworkers are great. They work hard and can be good friends. Worklife balance is nice, I didn't have to work too much overtime.

    Cons

    Management is a mess. Leadership pretends to have transparency but are constantly leaving employees in the dark. The CEO only cares about analytics and doesn't actually care about the quality of the products they produce or the team building it. Team members have less say on design than the analytics team.

    Cons

    Management are good people but seem scatter brained at times and like they can’t quite decide where they want to go with their next games and growing the studio.
