Decision making gets more and more centralised every cycle. Opportunities for individuals are drying up as more and more responsibility for finding solutions to problems is put in the hands of managers and executives. Plenty of opportunity to give feedback, but rarely is there any resolution to pain points. It got to a point where it felt like talking to a wall when trying to provided candid feedback. The hardest part was seeing so many talented people let go due to the failures of the business to focus on the problems that really matter in the studio. After two layoffs, I feel very insecure about my position and that another incorrect bet on web3 gaming business models could result on me being cut next. We say people are everything at Immutable, but once you stop being valuable then you’re let go in a big restructure. A previous review said engineering was not affected by layoffs but this is false. In both the previous 2 layoffs we lost incredibly talented engineers among other disciplines. I believe immutable can still be an excellent place to work. The people are smart and want to do the right thing, but management sticks to their beliefs instead of collaborating with the team to get to a better place. It does not feel like a safe place if you have any critique of crypto.
