Process
I was contacted by a recruiter, had an initial interview, and then was ghosted.
I sent a follow-up, but received no reply.
I don't think this is how people should be treated.

A great place to be
Software Engineer • Current Employee
July 15, 2022
Pros: The Dublin office is full of passionate, talented, mission-driven people from all over Europe.
There's pretty good work-life balance, especially for a gaming company.
Plenty of on-the-job and off-the-job opportunities exist to make an impact for players.
It's as good a place to solve global, interesting problems as any.
Cons: - Multiple 'tiers' of employees.
- Long history of cutting contractors on a whim, even before the contract terms are up.
- Too much authority is centralized in LA; regional offices have very limited autonomy.
- Extremely long interview process (2 months is fast, 3-4 months is typical).
