      -high turnover in some parts of the organization resulting in understaffed teams feeling burnt out -Sometimes there is a lack of transparency or communication in business decisions/org changes but the newly formed Internal Communications team is working hard to improve this

      Ok company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A lot of talent to work with. Strong engineer team, not so strong art(certain game doesn't care about art as much as programming). Leadership(most, depends on your team still) is grown up enough to allow you achieve some degree of work life balance. Male friendly company and if you happen to have some traits that fit into their culture, you can become one of the boys.

      Cons

      Not a female friendly environment.

      Pros

      Massive amounts of experience for QA Amazing co-workers Projects were fun and challenging on occasion Pretty solid benefits A lot of free games and swag

      Cons

      There was no work/life balance - During extremely busy periods the only time spent out of work was commuting and sleeping Compensation was dismal at best Competent, well trained employees were rare and after they were laid off they didn't come back - If they did come back for consecutive seasons, after their third they were required to be out for a year before they could return Lay-offs were far too frequent for full time employees Hard work was rewarded with a larger workload and higher expectations Metrics for bonusable goals were geared to eventually become impossible to attain Little to no possibly for advancement I could really go on and on here. If you're a young person that can handle being fed through a meat grinder as a QA Tester for a couple of seasons, the pay is decent (though you won't get benefits unless you elect to receive them and pay a hefty premium nor will you receive a bonus) and you'll get plenty of overtime making the paychecks pretty nice. If you're not someone that can live with that this is not the place for you.
