Pros

There used to be a many, now they are are very few. There has been a marked shift in culture and priorities of the company in the last year.

Cons

VERY top heavy company. Way too many VPs, Senior VPs, MDs, infinite number of C-level officials when some of these people don't even have a single direct report! But requests to hire more junior staff - people who actually PRODUCE the games this company sells - is absolutely shot down. The company even has a CHIEF CULTURE OFFICER (LOL !!!) when there is no focus on improving company culture. Workgroups are severely understaffed to the point of being ridiculous but they keep hiring more senior management. The company made a billion dollars in profit last year but the yearly raises and employee bonuses were a paltry 1-2%. The senior officials simply do not care about the staff. Its all about the profits, push to do more, produce more with lesser resources. Weekend work is considered absolutely normal and 12 hour workdays are heavily encouraged and very often demanded. The tech stack is OLD, they use C++ in this era, and no work from home is possible because they still use the age old ways of work where one has to be tethered to their desks. The inter-department fighting is insane! Blame game and gaslighting is very common within the company.
