Supermassive Games Reviews

Where to start. Medium to large projects (up to eighty staff working on them) were tracked using post-it-notes on whiteboards placed at random locations in the office. Producers would move post-it's around depending on their level of completed-ness and remove them when finished. Notes would fall off and be put back in the wrong place etc etc. Production was beyond incompetent. When budgeting for a major project, they neglected to include the build for the entire environment for a game. Rather than correct their mistake, they stole capacity from other departments and kept it quiet from management. Did I mention post it notes? Their idea of 'original content' is ripping off films from past and making them into awful games. Check out their latest horror game and compare it to a movie called 'Ghost Ship'. I'm sure the legal team at Warner Brothers are going to have a field day when that gets a release. Management are bullies. People had mental breakdowns because of their behavior.

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.
