Great coworkers, horrendous management
Pros
Many, many individuals at 31U are truly wonderful and immensely talented people that are an absolute pleasure to know.
Cons
The majority of the highest level of management is an incredible display of nepotism and is full of individuals wholly unequipped to hold positions at that level. Company does a lot of song and dance on diversity and inclusion but routinely shoots down the feedback of the female/ POC/ LGBTQ+ employees it claims to value the opinions of. Much of upper management is disorganized and does a poor job of setting expectations. On the seldom occasion clear guidelines were given, the goal posts were almost certain to shift. Beware buzzwords and phrases such as “fast paced” and “dynamic environment”- there is a substantial difference between a dynamic environment and pure disorganization. 31U is the latter. During my time there, a substantial amount of people left the studio in a very short time period. As much as the studio claims to be something unique and special in the gaming industry, it’s more a stereotype than the exception.
