WildWorks Employee Reviews about "studio"

Pros

WildWorks offers great flexibility to their employees, ensuring a healthy work/life balance not seen at many other gaming studios in SLC. Working on children's games is really fun and the environment is really creative. The management team is transparent with growth goals and are available for the staff to talk to. Fun perks for staff including

Cons

Management isn't clear on career growth and goals for individuals, despite setting goals for the whole company each quarter. Communication is open in the office, but it appears as though all direction comes from the studio founder rather than leveraging the expertise of the staff they've hired.

Pros

Work-life balance was great. PTO and other benefits were pretty solid.

Cons

This studio is the definition of insular and traditional, with strong enforcement of favoritism that sours everything else. Diversity is a bad word here. The same handful of long-time employees make all the decisions, and there is little room for innovation, constructive criticism, or anything they don't agree with. Office management/HR department frequently failed to provide the most basic studio support, including several errors that really should have been reported to the state labor board. Upper management is a self-aggrandizing boy's club, especially with tech and production. The siloing of departments never seems to be addressed, even after years of being acknowledged, and project management and pipelines suffer immensely for it.
