Pros

Wevr does cool projects and works with cool celebrities. Most of the staff they hire are good people, if they stick around/aren't fired.

Cons

Be prepared to crunch. Upper management are disorganized, with lots of infighting. You will suffer if your project is on the "wrong side." Management will lie to you. The pay and benefits are low for what is asked for you. If you work for Wevr your life will get worse.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback for us. We know we're tardy in responding but want to communicate that this feedback is important to us. As of this response, we're actively addressing some of the feedback listed above. Specifically, we're working with an external consultancy to review things such as our compensation and benefits to ensure that they remain competitive for the market as well as provide coaching and support in other areas. Additionally, we took some time as a company to think about our culture, vision, and values and have put measures in place to encourage more communication with the leadership team and folks supporting the studio. Every person deserves to be treated with respect and we hope that we're making improvements based on feedback like this. Thank you for taking the time and providing us with actionable feedback. -Wevr Team

Pros

The room-scale work is great and the Blu + Gnomes and Goblins were focused on quality. Get to work with "important people" on occasion

Cons

- Poor money management; burned through massive amount of funding with very little to show for it - Co-Founders not aligned, lead to infighting and competing priorities - Astounding turnover - Nobody in leadership knows how to ship - Be ready to crunch in order to impress "important people" - Lots of yelling

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us feedback! A lot of our turnover is due to the fact we tend to work with a lot of contractors on an as-needed basis. However, optics are important. We'll be sure to communicate that more clearly with our teams! As of writing this, we're now working with an agile software development consultancy to help us better understand and work with our dev teams. Our hope is to ensure we create a small, well-balanced team environment that is conducive to iteration and tight feedback loops. Thanks for taking the time and please know that this feedback is very important to us. -Wevr Team
