Pros
- Youthful atmosphere - ground level coworkers are generally really good
Cons
- They will try to pay you as little as possible and are nowhere close to industry standards. - All the money goes to upper management, who is paid much better than industry standards - top level leadership barely has experience. - Projects are about money and merch first, not about building a good game. - Marketing wins over design - you’re guaranteed a job if you have a friend in upper management, skill is barely a requirement - Promotions to top level are based only on how well you can talk - Leadership will downplay or dismiss your issues - Toxic positivity, leadership will try to say there are no issues. - Anyone attached to the movie deal is immune to consequences regardless of how much they hurt the studio - We were asked to write positive reviews in an all-hands meeting - leadership is full of personalities and makes people regularly feel gaslit and stressed - PIP’s are doled out for no reason, or threatened if certain directors don’t get their way - frequent arbitrary decisions made that actively handicap development efforts
