Dumpster Fire - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Oxide Interactive

Everyone I worked with was really cool and fun. Understanding coworkers and management that made my time starting there up until my end date pleasant. Open atmosphere where I could walk up to anyone with questions or clarifications on stuff.

No negatives I can think of.

Extremely talented team, developers outside of the executive team have good rapport, culture, and environment, interesting tech to work with.

Minimal documentation on the proprietary systems so hard to get trained up on. Management will expect you to operate within boundaries they give you, which will hcange on a whim and often without notice, but you will be punished for trying to enforce those boundaries or set your own. Job descriptions are non-existent, and when they do exist they have 'all tasks as assigned' tacked on, nullifying the entire purpose of them. HR has said things like 'you don't find people with severe mental illness in the workplace' and 'the East India Trading Company is an example of a business that failed because they weren't change ready'. President of the company will publicly shame departments and berate people. Engineering-first. The opinions of engineering are clearly held in higher esteem by the executive staff, with some having directly stated they don't understand what designers or producers do and feel that both are unnecessary. There is a huge culture of fear, where people are reluctant to give feedback to leadership because of these things. Management also has this fear based culture when interacting with external partners, to the direct detriment and harm of employees and the product.
