Pros

There were some nice people who worked there. Unfortunately, because it's an entirely remote work environment, I never had any opportunity to truly get to know my colleagues.

Cons

I was fired from Deck Nine. Prior to my dismissal, I was given a glowing performance review and a generous raise. And then, one day, I was pulled into a zoom meeting and told that I was being fired for poor performance. I was completely blindsided. I had never had any indication that I was not meeting performance expectations, and I was never given any opportunity to respond to concerns about my performance. Was I a miserable failure of an employee? I don't think so, but it doesn't matter here. Even people who are terrible at their jobs should be able to trust that their employer will let them know if there's a problem, and give them an opportunity to address performance issues. Deck Nine did neither of these things. I cannot recommend working for Deck Nine. They are not a trustworthy employer. Their games might have heart, but they do not. Stay away.

Rebranded Company, Same Problems

Pros

Most of the people are fun and easy to work with

Cons

There is a toxic management style and poor deadline planning. They don't think ahead, and what that will mean to you as a worker is few weekends and no holidays. Think long and hard about what you are willing to give up. You also need to be careful of who you work with. There are multiple departments in this company that are great, but some are headed by some very unprofessional people. You might get blamed for your supervisor's mistakes. Be very careful in the interview to ask questions and if they deflect questions or aren't specific, that's a very bad sign.

Pros

Great owners, good people in many departments

Cons

They take you for granted, because they are small there is little chance for advancement, middle management is inexperienced and there is a heavily political atmosphere with no oversight, which leads to unprofessional and abusive treatment.
