Pros

Quarterly events Had some very good people

Cons

Expected to work from 08:00 to 19:00. When 2 directors were asked about how to control work/life balance their response was "It should be OK to decline a meeting after 19:00". They didn't have a family.

Working with genuinely passionate teams

Senior manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Passionate and talented teams working on iconic games and platforms. Strong brand recognition and access to cutting-edge technology. Supportive and inclusive work culture that values creativity and collaboration. Flexible working options, including 5 day WFH. Office for “Key Moments”. Solid benefits package including healthcare, discounts, and bonus opportunities. Opportunities to work with global teams and learn from a diverse set of professionals.

Cons

Like many large companies, decision making can be slow and is often siloed. Career progression seems like it requires navigating plenty of internal politics. Communication from upper management can sometimes lack transparency, although it’s been improving recently. Workload can spike around major launches or milestones, and generally it’s hard to find the right work life balance - especially when working with US colleagues.
