Improbable Reviews

- Strategic direction takes months to develop by senior management. Management will disappear for all day meetings with little to no input from the wider business. - Operational process is painfully slow and grinding. Expect decisions which should take weeks, to take months here. - Although staff churn is low, company is unwilling to accept or learn from historical mistakes from 1-2 years ago which led to departure of senior staff. - CEO seems unclear on company culture. Says he wants to move the company to be more mature & serious, but then insists on filling company strategy presentations with pictures of Transformers and memes. - CEO is a micromanager, and often changes mind at the last minute for no justifiable reason, holding up months of work. - C-suite has a habit of bringing in senior hires to help ease growing pains, but them completely ignores their advice. "Old hands" seem to have a veto over seasoned advice. - Questionable reputation in the games industry.

Frequent, meaningless, confusing changes. Even though Improbable is a startup that pretends to value individual contribution and transparency, things are simply decided behind closed doors and relayed to you. Humility is nowhere to be found except for "company values". Especially after the big investment. Day-to-day, company's operations are total chaos even for a startup (I worked at several before.). Internal processes are surprisingly clunky. Communication is terrible.
