Once a decent studio, losing all its integrity now

Pros

-Great pay, above average in the industry - Good campus facilities - Plenty of amazing people to meet and learn from - Endless opportunities for fun experiences outside of work

Cons

- Management is very hierarchal despite their company values saying otherwise - More cliques and rude coworker behavior than expected - Too many managers who have no business managing people/don’t even want to manage - No job security, especially over the past year - R&D teams treated like separate studios from the core company, which means less resources and support - The company is pushing for genAI use in new splash artwork and other aspects of art for LoL and future projects. Look at their job board - Less resources given to new projects going forward - Most art is becoming outsourced to third parties - Losing its overall magic that attracted the best talent in the industry, hemorrhaging their best artists

Lost its magic

Pros

Brilliant coworkers Swanky campus Progressive environment Used to have amazing opportunity for projects and growth for game developers, not so much anymore

Cons

C-suite, VPs, and Execs ruining projects and misusing talent Weirdly jealous of Hollywood and wishes it were a film studio to brush shoulders with Netflix, Jeffrey Katzenberg, etc. Arcane/IP Strategy can be toxic to people who actually work on the games that keep the lights on Prioritize the creatives who work on your games, not the random tech and film hires from Netflix and AirBnB
