With company being in hyper growth mode and people trying to get on top by crushing heads. Has any one experienced the toxicity at machine zone mz ? Please share your experience and how you came out of it Right about the time one reads a downer post like this you (your engineer self which is always up for new challenges) aaah another sour post about some nonsense. It won't apply to me cause I am going to pour myself 200% at the job and things will be fine... and Boooom it hits you the people who were warning before had a reason to be Downer.. There is a bigger problem all these startups take the approach of quick to hire and quick to fire and priding in being a company like that
What is that?
Definitely on the higher end of what’s the industry average, great benefits as well.
Didn't MZ go through layoffs a while back?
What specifically does "crushing heads" refer to?
Simple act of staying on top in huge pile of people without thinking about how it might affect other people's life, lively hood and the things that depend on it
I felt like my choices were limited to avoid such stuff, so left MZ and life is much more peaceful now
Already made strides and executing
Hypergrowth at mz? Thought it stopped sometime ago?
I meant hypergriwth in terms of hiring
Considering applying to MZ, should I not?
MZ is a private company. They issue stock options at a very high price. If you need to leave before IPO you need to buy the stocks which might cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Also, the culture isn't great. They fire easily even for non-technical reasons, I saw one guy who was fired and the mgmt said he was playing politics and so they had to fire him
If you have an appetite for cheats lies politics... mz is the place for you
What is MZ?
Machine Zone. The game developer behind Game of War, Mobile Strike and Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire. You’ve probably seen their ads.
Machine zone. I heard it’s super cutthroat and everyone I have worked with from MZ is super political
