Pros

- Top of industry pay - Great benefits - World class games

Cons

- Jobs are no longer secure - Most leadership is new and filled with people with NO gaming experience - Company is no longer player focused, just focused on money - Layoffs are now common - Layoffs are NOT consulted or planned with the direct manager. Managers would have no idea their direct report was laid off until right before it happened, or even after - Layoffs are money motivated with entire art teams being let go, with the plan to bring in AI and vendors to fill that work - Accepted severe crunch. Plenty of "we'll make it better next time" but next time doesn't come - Department leaders have no idea how to fight for their team, and actually win

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
