Pros

Some very talented, very amiable individuals in the programming department. No crunch culture. Ten minute walk into Guildford town centre. Five minute walk to Guildford train station.

Cons

Supermassive Games was the worst games company I worked at and one of the worst companies I ever worked at in any industry full stop. There is an us and them culture with an inner circle of (alleged) designers and directors who decide everything. Prior to the release of Until Dawn the company's back catalogue of games consisted of hand to mouth B grade titles most people had never heard of. If you interviewed a candidate with a portfolio of mediocre work suddenly followed by something of a higher standard you might want to ask some questions about who originated the work. I would advise against giving up any role to join this company and especially against relocating to join this company only to find you're assigned a role other than the one you applied for which surprisingly is not illegal in the UK.

Pros

Interesting games to work on. People are generally great. A good hybrid scheme.

Cons

It's going from bad to worse in terms of trusting leadership. Following layoffs, people already felt low but even after launching a big game, the policies and weak leadership make everything so needlessly stressful. Someone else wrote that this is not a person first company and I have to completely agree. There's next to no consideration for the impact decisions have on people. Crediting is also becoming a stupid issue.
