Pros

The people were incredible. The marketing team were some of the best, most competent people I've ever had the pleasure of working with, and it's a real shame that Sumo didn't see their value and made the entire department redundant when restructuring. I also was able to meet a variety of people working in different studios working on different games. I like that Sumo allowed each studio to have its culture and values, allowing each to feel like its own independant studio, while having the support of the wider family.

Kontras

The senior management sadly talked a lot of talk, and when it came down to it finally walked away after tanking the company. Two lots of redundancies later, and a lot of wishy washy language, Sumo doesn't seem that reliable of a company anymore. I will add, the gaming industry in general is a scary place to work, it's just so unpredictable, But, comunication is always important, and cancelling multiple 'town halls' because you can't face your employees doesn't give the best image.

Pros

The fellow employees are enjoyable to work with and be around. Management, not as much.

Kontras

I had a VERY disheartening situation happen to me at Pipeworks/Sumo Digital. Sumo was getting ready to be purchased by Tencent. Many, MANY, employees were very upset and worried by this. Many of us expressed that we were worried, and management said "we understand. We will set up a safe place/time to discuss these concerns." then within literal minutes they posted in our Slack about how great the buyout was going to be. How much we should be excited about our stock prices, how much money the studio will have, ETC. We, again, said we didn't want this and were upset that we weren't even consulted about our feelings on the issue. Almost every day our CEO would post about how great the buyout is (coincidently, he would be getting a pretty big paycheck from this buyout). And, weeks after it was promised, we STILL didn't have this "safe place" to talk about our concerns. Finally the CEO posts about it again and I reply with, "Many of us are very worried about the moral implications of supporting Tencent and the CCP. So maybe now isn't the time to be repeatedly, gleefully, boasting about how jazzed we should be about our stock prices. Please stop." From that moment, I was treated like a leper by management. Very shortly after that, I was given my walking papers. When asked WHY I was being let go, they gave me no reason at all. Since I was still considered contract, they just cut me loose without a reason provided. So if anyone out there is considering taking a job with Sumo Digital, or specifically Pipeworks, I'd highly recommend you keep shopping around and only take a job there if you've literally got no other options.
