Avantages

Competitive Salary. Massive personal growth opportunities if you’re in the right place at the right time. You can work with some of the smartest and kindest people.

Inconvénients

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.

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. We know the recent restructuring impacted the roles and lives of some of our employees, and we understand that this can lead to people feeling frustrated and saddened by these changes. We want to support anyone feeling this way, so we encourage you to reach out to make use of our Employee Assistance Program and coaching services. We are pleased to hear you felt you had a lot of opportunities to provide feedback. However, not all feedback and opinions can be taken on, as leaders need to make tough decisions that have trade-offs. Our Product, Engineering and Design teams are critical to our mission, and we are pleased to have a high engagement of >80% amongst these IMX teams in our January engagement survey. We also disagree with your comments relating to opportunities for individuals ‘drying up’ given our promotion rate of 15% in the past year. We continue to hire critical roles in our Product, Engineering and Design teams and are placing lots of investment in career development for our people in 2023. Like many fast-growing companies, we know we still have work to do to give our employees the best experience possible as we grow. We care about all Immutables and would encourage you to book into office hours of the CEO, Chief Studio Officer or time with your people partner. Thanks,

Really lovely people. Great work life balance, and interesting work.

Inconvénients

In the crypto space, so reliant on the ups and downs of the industry. Lay offs were common despite making it sound like the company had years of runway to live through bear market conditions

Avantages

The job was fun and rewarding. The company culture felt like a good fit for me until it suddenly wasn't.

Inconvénients

After losing my wife to a brain tumour, I was finally able to restart my life and career. Immutable was where that journey started. At Immutable, my work was universally praised and I had a genuinely good time doing my job and I finally felt like I was on my way. The skies were clear and I felt good. Then, with 3 days warning, my "position was eliminated". The work for this position still needs to be done so this didn't make a lot of sense. Nobody asked me to do anything different or differently, and I was assured by every manager I spoke to that I was a pleasure to work with and I never had a negative comment about the quality or quantity of the work I was producing. So when the rug was pulled away, it was difficult to process. I was suddenly without medical insurance in the middle of a cancer scare (biopsy was negative), It was a tough situation to be in, especially when I didn't do anything wrong. The person that I'm told made the decision never interacted with me in the course of my job, and later bragged that they "didn't consider the individual" when making these inexplicable decisions. Who brags about that? It's not a positive management trait to treat employees like numbers and nothing else. It's a huge mistake to pretend they aren't people at all. I'm not sure I could ever trust them again.
