Improved culture and engaged team - Anonymous employee Playnetic Employee Review

Working with some very talented and friendly employees.

I left a corporate job of 8 years to join Playnetic. Within 3 months of joining, I was up for retrechment. Luckily my boss stepped in and I was kept on a half day basis, still a 50% drop in salary so not cool. Then about 6 weeks later, they retrenched me and whole bunch of other people. It's extremely bad management to hire staff who let go solid jobs only to let them go within months! Where is your budgeting and forecasting??? They will hire and get rid of you without a care in the world. Management has no idea how to run a company and are heartless at impacting peoples lives in such a bad way. The final insult is then having to wait and wait for them to decide to pay you in the end. So, not only do you get retrenched and you are without an income, they money due to you doesn't get paid on time. I eventually sort legal action. Unless you are a trust fund baby who has not a financial care in the world, stay clear of this company. They are heartless, untrustworthy and incompetent people.

Remote work, PTO, skilled colleagues

The company has a strong reputation for failing to pay their employees and contractors on time or at all. They are very sneaky and will lie to get away with not paying you for the services provided. Previous employees in the past, including myself, had to purse legal action to get paid. Also, poor management from the very top (huge egos and lack of basic morals), HR is just there to defend the company and doesn't fairly represent the basic rights of its employees, and overall just horrible treatment of the very people that are trying to make the business and its products better.
