Chaotic, no trust, over processed

Pros

There are pockets of good people. Healthcare is unparalleled anywhere and time off is welcomed.

Cons

As the company acquired so many studios, there was no infrastructure in place to manage the scaling size. Consolidating every entity to a single name was a disaster. It has caused tension between teams that would never normally work together, no trust to make staff or business decisions, a bloat in leadership and account teams, and constant layoffs. Raises have been on pause for 2-3+ years and expected to stay as such. An obsession on the next buzzword (was Metaverse, now it's AI) and selling any work is causing issues on the ground level. People just want to do good work and be enabled to make decisions to do the work well.
