Pros
- Great environment, extremely friendly people in the office I was in - Most people, with the exception of a small handful, were very passionate about their work and happy to help others - Mostly very experienced middle management who weren't phased when deadlines grew closer - Good work-life balance compared to other game companies, I was never forced to stay overtime, I did so willingly a handful of times because I wanted to polish my work - Very fair performance evaluations: they take evaluations from both peers and manager - Small perks like getting free swag, tickets, games, beer, and food once in a while
Cons
- As with all game companies, lower salary than the same role in non-video game companies. So, know what you're getting into. - Rigid roles so it's very difficult to move laterally within the company - Potentially a lot of overtime nearing a release depending on your role, though, we were provided dinner when we did
