Star Stable Entertainment Reviews

Any real talent, seniors or otherwise eager and positive hires wanting to really make some change in the company won't last 6 months. I've seen them come and go all trying their best working against the conservative mindset of the production as a whole and leadership. If you're looking into working there yourself be prepared that it's just a day to day job with little to no possibility to make any real changes. If you're okay with that then it's a fine place to work on with a lot of social benefits and stability throughout the years. That comfort is the real reason a lot of people are okay with the workplace and there is a huge amount of people still at the company who have been around for years and years. I've personally developed more in just the short amount of time after leaving the company than I did for the entirety of the stay I had there. And again, if that is something that you aspire too then by all means it's comforting and relaxing to work there. I've seen people working there wanting to give back to their community of players only for it to have gotten a price tag put on it. I've seen programmers work on new cool features pushed aside and forgotten seeing it's not sellable. Also, most senior and lead positions around the company have no real prior experience working with people management or having authority and responsibility over others but rather usually just casually given to people having had worked in the company long enough. Which leads to some bad middle management behaviors sometimes.

Career prospects are minimal, as is salary growth. Change happens slowly, if at all. It's easy to feel like management/HR has forgotten about things they've promised, or simply do not care. Tech debt and poor tools has caused several devs to quit, and yet little priority is put on resolving either of those issues. Management has expressed little interest in making SSO (the main product) a more engaging game, opting instead to focus on creating more horses which drive revenue.
