Software Engineer • Current Employee
Pasadena, California, United States
August 4, 2021
Pros: I definitely didn't get the "typical" experience. I started during COVID, never met another co-worker in person, and have team members all over the country (some international too).
That said, my studio has been great. They actually care, they work hard to make sure there is no crunch, and they try to get everyone in the studio engaged.
Cons: From a company perspective, it is definitely a corporate culture, but this is balanced by the studios themselves. Each studio will be different, and that is actually really great.
