Pluspunten

It's hard to tell the pros anymore. There used to be a commitment to employee well-being and a sense of stability.

Minpunten

A management coup happened last week. The founder who built the company was fired. At the same time, they fired 13 otherwise valuable employees, perceived as too loyal to the old founder. Understand that all reviews posted on Glassdoor prior to 5/14/2017 were under the leadership of the old founder. WildWorks is no longer the same company. In day-to-day terms, work is fractured between several small groups who hardly communicate with anyone else, and the level of frustration and political bureaucracy for a relatively small company is ridiculous. Post-coup, the remnants of empowered technical leadership are laughably unqualified. The treacherous executives and their cronies not only don't mind this state of affairs, but created it to give cover to their plots. They've conspired for years to remove the company's founder from power and block out the employees who had built the company from the ground up, replacing the company's core with image-obsessed cargo-culters. This is only the first round of layoffs. Expect more. Anyone not currently associated with WildWorks should not be fooled by the skeleton of the company that once was; the new boss will attempt to keep this up, but the heart has been gutted. Getting involved with this company now is a tragedy.

Reactie van WildWorks

There were three original founders of WildWorks, and it is correct that the company’s investors recently removed one of the co-founders from the management team. It is not uncommon for the board of directors of a successful startup to prepare for the next phase of growth by replacing some early-stage managers with executive skillsets appropriate for growing larger companies. WildWorks is still led by the same CEO, CFO, and head of development that have presided over its past five years of growth and success, and it is positioned to continue growing with exciting new IP in development by the world’s greatest kids digital entertainment team. We are a stable, profitable company that is equally dedicated to providing a great creative work environment to our employees as we are to making great games. Over the past 14 years, we’ve lost vanishingly few team members to internal restructuring or performance deficiencies. We regret that there are evidently hard feelings with this former employee, but we wish them and all WildWorks alumni continued success and creative fulfillment in the games industry.
