Pros: A great place to work with supportive management and excellent work-life balance, though there’s always room for improvement.

Cons: Growth opportunities are good but can be competitive and take time.

Pros: You can still work fully remote.

Cons: PIP abused. The manager uses "alignment" to cheat employees in order to quickly terminate by PIP. If you think merit will get you promoted, this place is not for you. Promotions here are reserved for those who perform loyalty, fabricate optics, and obey authority. If you write code, you're a tool. If you write the script, you're leadership. External branding: freedom, player-first, engineering-led. Internal reality: factions, performance art, political maneuvering. You think you’re building systems — but really, you’re just constructing someone else’s promotion stage. Engineers, Avoid Unless You Want to Learn How to Get Your Credit Stolen. Everyone Says 'Player First' but No One Really Means It. Heaven for Performers, Hell for Engineers.

Pros: One of the best AAA game dev companies around. Lots of autonomy, great production staff. Perks are great. Campus is great. VERY rarely had to crunch. PTO is respected.

Cons: Lots of meetings, but to be expected at AAA. Lots of tribal knowledge required, which means you need to get good at just DMing people to get answers. Not a lot of room to grow past a Senior Engineer.
