Pros

The compensation and working on Fortnite

Cons

Leadership creates a toxic and unsafe culture. Teams are pushed to the limit to hit unrealistic objectives, while executives take zero accountability for outcomes or how people are treated. My experience with the President is especially negative. His leadership style is self-serving, manipulative, ego-driven, and consistently dismissive of employee wellbeing, all of which causes high turnover and burns out talented colleagues. Working with him isn't leadership, it's survival. HR won’t publish the numbers, but if you do the math yourself, roughly 3 out of 4 Directors and Senior Directors don’t even make it a full year under his leadership. He carefully ensures that candidates do not speak with peers at that level during interviews for roles under him.

Pros

It's exciting to work for a company that's truly changing the game of gaming and production.

Cons

Really poor communication across the company, and a lack of visible leadership. Lots of confusion and stress that could be easily avoided with better cross-team collaboration.
