The culture of fear

Pros

-The focus on financial performance will get you through the storms of economy. Take-Two has solid financials and wasn't affected by lay-offs. -RSU after 1 year of emplyment

Cons

- 3 week vacation - no focus on talent development - the culture of fear, old fashioned "hard balling". Pointing out obvious f*-ups in the system will absolutely get you fired. People know it and stay quiet - high consolidation in the gaming market means employees have very little bargaining power, and the management knows it. They will keep their costs low at your expense. - time tracking takes up a ton of time, and it's encouraged to be done at your "free from work work time" aka evenings. That's on top of tracking everything in Jira. Not much time is put into planning, but all of the time is put into tracking the lack of planning, with management acting all surprised about where the time goes into and blaming the employees of ineffectiveness. There were definite hints from line managers on how to fake the numbers so that nobody asks any questions. In a nutshell, the fish has started to rot from the head.

Pros

Since starting at Take-two the biggest surprise for me has been the culture. I have found everyone to be extremely friendly and supportive and it's been quick and easy to fit-in. Additionally, the way the firm is setup, there is opportunity for growth with good performance being rewarded. You won't feel stuck! I've been here just about a year now and finding the experience very fulfilling.

Cons

None that I have come across so far.
