Co-Owner & CFO laid off the majority of the studio back in September 2023. I have not received any severance to date (Feb 2024). They have reported to the government that the severance was paid out, this is causing financial harm to me personally and a lot of headache trying to resolve this. In the past they have also not paid my monthly paycheck on time. Attempting to resolve any of these issues often results in getting stonewalled by HR or the CFO conveniently losing any correspondence to solve the issue.

Long planning meetings, although I feel like this is pretty common. Low pay, I can't speak to others experience, but I was promised raises twice, and both times I was given absolutely trivial reasons as to why I wouldn't get them. Support from most of the leads was not existent. There were numerous times where I would ask a question and it would either be met with silence or I would get a "This is what google is for" in response. There was also very little constructive feed-back. I was even denied the opportunity for growth in a few instances. For example, when I asked if I could take on a feature I found more interesting, I was denied because "it was more involved." Instead of my drive being rewarded with guidance, it was shut down because they thought I was not capable. No transparency when it came to bad-faith clients. We found out what was happening after it was too late and a bunch of us were laid off with very little warning. And not 2 months after the layoffs, I saw a job posting for a position slightly above that of a few people who were laid off, for the same pay.
