Maximum Entertainment Reviews

Maximum has a number of problems. Primarily, spending, as they openly admit to. There's excessive spending on contracts with poor deals being struck. Investments are far beyond what they should realistically be and the minimum guarantees would make your eyes water. However, the decision from the top is that throwing more money at a contract means that the game is good and will be a success. The company structure suffers from extreme redundancy. They have managers reporting to directors, reporting to heads, reporting to chief executives. Maximum seems to struggle with looking at the top of the tree for duplication of roles but is more than happy to cut away at the roots. There were multiple failures in long-term planning. Many instances of last-minute decisions being made that were not conveyed to the larger team. That presented itself as shock when people realized their deadlines for an impossible workload was a couple of days. Managerial oversight is prolific. There were many examples of meetings being forgotten by the people setting them, meetings being delayed without reason. Minutes aren't taken and often meetings result in no action. This is another case of spending - employee time wasted is an impact on earnings. There were many instances of excessive spending on solutions to problems cause by failures. The failures were often a result of poor planning, lack of communication and general lethargy. The current objective of Maximum is downsizing and integrating all areas. It appears they don't understand how that is actually meant to be done without destroying the company. I would advise caution and research into Maximum before proceeding with them.

* Many heads, managers, directors, 'manager of'. One department will have all of these people and none of them will talk to each other, or know what each other does. or be good at the jobs the bottom in the pecking order is good at. * The average request will result in "Ask my manager -> ask your line manager -> ask this person in that department -> ask my head and for anyone else, something as simple as an art ticket will need to go through 5 chains of command lasting three days so the task can begin due for two weeks time, ridiculous levels of 'efficiency' *I f you're satellite studio don't expect bonuses, trips, promotions, or decent games to work on. The benefits of actually having a good job are reserved for the CEO and the director's tight knit clique, whom of which get the cream of the crop in terms of game signings, yet somehow always mess them up? How much do you think they spent on max football and diesel legacy? lmao. I could go on, but it's not worth my time.
