Pros
  • Benefits are very good.
  • If you're at the right place at the right time and are good at what you do, you can enjoy decent career advancement.
  • Technology sharing between studios.
Cons

Management roles are not clearly defined.

The bonus pool funding is mysterious. It's based on some "plan" that is not communicated.

There is large managerial overhead.

Due to poor hiring practices from years ago, some people find themselves in positions that they are not adequately suited for.

Advice to Management

Communicate how we're going to right the ship.

Be more introspective and communicate to employees which strategies worked and which didn't.

Hold people accountable for the good and the bad.
