Pros

Good benefits, great team members, great colleagues and wonderful supportive environment. Travel and experiences and camaraderies was great.

Cons

Working in esports means you could be working almost 24/7. Company is flexible enough for you to take time off as you need but esports is a round-the-clock department and you almost don't even have time to even find time off. Messy leadership and management structure. Small teams and insanely high workload.

Pros

Depends on the team, but my team is full of talented and mature people. Leadership per team often comes in and it's nice to be able to see them.

Cons

Some teams still have lingering issues from the past and are not super inclusive.
