Pros

- The work itself is interesting from an engineering perspective. - Co-workers are generally friendly and good to work with.

Cons

- Management is a major weakness. - Leadership often feels disconnected from the actual work and lacks technical competence, leading to poor decisions and unrealistic expectations. - There is a sense that management works against engineers rather than supporting them. - Compensation is well below market: no equity, and bonuses are low and not commensurate with the level of effort required for strong performance.

Pros

Good culture in my department. Positive, supportive, professional. Work life balance has improved. Generally less crunch culture, although overtime hasn't completely disappeared. It happens but in my view the company does seem to be making efforts to avoid crunch as much as possible. Benefits are good.

Cons

Culture depends on the team. It's a big company and sometimes you may work with different departments, studios or teams who aren't supportive or professional. Can take a long time for the company to deal with problematic employees. Decision making from company leadership can be baffling. Limited opportunities for advancement. This has always been true, but it has gotten worse due to the economy and a certain administration. Pay could be better.
