Pros

Probably the best gaming studio to work for in North County! Cookie Jam is bringing in a lot of revenue making room for growth. We have a new office which is a great environment for being creative and getting work done. It's so quiet and stress free, like a library. Coming off of a period of leadership transition and the new guys are really settling in and making things great.

Cons

If you don't like the occasional nerf gun war or quadcopter buzzing, those would be a con. The landlord so far has been a little annoying, you have to get permission to put anything on any wall. Also we don't have control over most of our lights, if you want some of them off you have to get someone to come turn them off. Also of course no one can agree on the temperature settings haha.

Pros

- smart, creative people - fun IP

Cons

JC used to be an amazing place to work. High trust, inclusive, and accommodating. With new leadership all of that has been killed. If a company wants to call everyone back into the office, that is a business decision and I won't sit in judgement of it. But how you execute such a culture rattling and life impacting change MATTERS. Leadership has chosen the least ethical and empathetic path possible offering little notice, very few exceptions, zero financial support for relocation, and a big brother approach to monitoring in office attendance. Turnover has spiked including many of the top performing employees fleeing en mass. This appears part of leadership's plan to make working conditions so intolerable people quit so they don't have to execute a layoff. Along with new leadership has come a new excessive drinking culture. No joke! Drinking till all hours of the evening is the normal now in LA.
