Great company for full-time employees, not so great for contractors
Great company for full-time employees, not so great for contractors
- Tight development team gets things done on a hurried schedule.
- Full-time employees get good perks, especially if located at headquarters.
- Creative minds on the development team lead to a quality product, when given the resources and time.
- PR & Marketing dominate the development cycle, leading to games being released before they are necessarily ready for the masses.
- Contracted employees are excluded from most perks.
- Massive overtime is required well before "crunch time," leading to work/life balance issues.

Easy. Asked about how you would approach when you see a bug. Nice interviewer. The rest is to make sure that you work well in a team and see if you have interest in games.

Fast and efficient interview. No complications arose during that time, and everything went as planned. The HR called me twice to remind me about the interview.

The interview process was overall pleasant. It seems like I was with a recruiter rather than someone from the actual company, so some questions asked they were unable to answer. I would apply again in the future at this company.
