Pros

Nice job if you like games, technology, and testing.

Not too hard.

Decent salary.

Cons

Snooty, narrow-minded, bureaucratic, untrustworthy management.

Cold, heartless, corporate company.

The wrong people are promoted, based on their quality as "lapdogs" instead of technical skills, talent, or experience.

Lack of flexibility. They follow poorly designed plans to the letter, no matter if what they do is efficient or useless. The unwritten motto is: "Don't think, just obey."

As they are going through a long-term process of department changes, the tasks and duties for each position are unclear, resulting in people getting more tasks and responsibilities than they are paid for. Despite this, they are not valued and appreciated for what they do.

Many people were "invited to leave" for unclear reasons. Some people have fear, feel uncomfortable, and secretly call the department "Orwell's 1984".

Advice to Management

Who cares? Anyway, they do not listen.
