Maximum Entertainment Employee Reviews

Maximum Games is growing so fast that it feels like a different company every year. It's an incredibly fun company to work for if you enjoy frequent change, adapting to changes in the industry, and a fast-paced hands-on environment.

MG is still a small company, playing with the big boys of the industry. It's a great place to do hard things and learn. Because it's small, each person is integral to the overall success of the company and has visibility into much more than at a large firm. We get things done but are a family.

They respond to changing circumstances and encourage the whole company to learn and grow.

They listen to employees, provide transparency, are quick to adapt, and there's very little bureaucracy.

The leadership team is always open to new ideas and hearing from everyone. They are very comfortable taking risks and do not shy away from a challenge.

300 words don't begin to cover what leadership needs to get better at. The leadership team is mostly made up of people who are either related to or close friends of the CEO, so you do the math there. Leadership loves to throw their employees under the bus to save themselves. None are true leaders.

Leadedship needs to learn how to be accountable. The CEO has bullied everyone into silence and created a culture of blame - where your higher ups will blame their team out of fear that the CEO will retailiate against them. Leadership needs to be better humans in general.

Everything, mainly communication is terrible.

The 401k program is as good as it gets

MG's 401k plan is very generous.

All of the employees at this company make at least 30% less than those in similar roles at other companies in the Bay Area. You get the legal minimum of sick days. Piece of advice to leadership: pizza parties once a month don't make your employees feel valued or empowered.

We are creative and were profitable before Seelye got involved.

Everyone is smart and capable. The team genuinely cares for the company and coworkers.

Better communication, clear expectations, better solutions

If I didnt have new coworkers daily, then maybe I could work better

Getting a week off for the holidays.

Great work-life balance, and everyone at every level has a voice.

Everyone is very productive, but strikes a good balance of having fun and taking snack or gaming breaks often.

Stop hiring people to just steal their network and skills.

Stop hiring family members, own up and help grow with non family members

Everyone was very friendly and welcoming.

Kinda hard, since they interview potential candidates they can syphon out of. Best bet to get in pretend like you have a huge network.

The ability to have a great idea and see it through without red tape or bureaucracy

The casual, yet productive environment. We're getting things done but no one is taking themselves too seriously.

Leadership is a nightmare, company objectives and strategies are constantly changing, and Modus Studios will continue to make horrible games that cost the company millions of dollars each year. Nothing will improve as leadership is the source of the issue.
