Salary is ok for a game company, and there are nice people for the most part.

The company has always had its problems: ancient tech, too focused on incremental changes and micro optimizations, incapable of taking any sort of risk, and fuzzy promotion requirements.

In spite of this, it was a nice place to work because of its benefits.

After the recent Microsoft acquisition, the company has started declining quite steeply:

• Layoffs
• Cancellation of highly anticipated planned events
• Budget cuts
• Benefits reduction

Because of this, morale is pretty low.

To be honest, it's not really worth it anymore, and I am planning to leave this sinking ship as soon as I can.

The "leadership" is ridiculous.

Grow a pair and at least PRETEND to stand up to the changes imposed by Microsoft.
