Pros

Working with great people, and working with the latest technology, pushing the limits of the industry. In engineering, you actually get proper tools, including properly specced computers, to get your work done properly. Not to mention, if you have an issue, the technology team is there to actually help you and work with you. The CEO & executive team understand the business very well and are great leaders. They are not afraid to stick up for social issues when it matters or make big bets when necessary.

Cons

The video game business requires crunch and for you to work hard. However, it has gotten a lot better over the years.

Avoid the HR department at all costs! The department is the Achilles' heel of the company and needs an overhaul. They have single-handedly driven multiple people to leave the team (including me!) for various reasons. This includes gaslighting, poor talent management, and even working against company interests, like causing great candidates to reject offers due to bad process and communication.

Advice to Management

The HR department is very toxic and is driving great people away.
