Anonymous Team17 employees have since spoken with Eurogamer to share their own grievances with how the company handled the NFT announcement, namely that several of them weren’t even made aware of the plans until the announcement. Those that did know and criticized them were ignored. When the backlash occurred, employees say the company failed to properly apologize, not even to the community managers that bore the brunt of the complaints from the public, as well as abuse.
Employees also shared complaints regarding low salaries, long hours, and other issues involving HR and upper management, which has resulted in many employees leaving Team17 and a bevy of poor reviews on Glassdoor. A quick glance at Team17’s page shows a startlingly low overall score of 2.9/5. Some 1-star reviews say the pay is so low that some employees can’t afford to heat their homes or eat three meals a day. They paint a very different picture to the 5-star reviews, with the most recent one admitting to the high turnout of staff but saying that this has created space for new employees.
