Pros
- gets you into industry - work on big games - lower level employees are lovely
Cons
- Women should not work here... - Company is almost all juniors - Everyone is applying for other jobs - Insanely high staff turnover - No formal training for newcomers - almost no documentation to learn from, have to continuously ask others but they are too busy to answer, or have to work unpaid overtime to make up for the time they spent helping you - Juniors 'train' newer juniors - Women have to go through HR to get fair promotions - Management always unavailable - Internal tools are outdated - no documentation for promotions, inconsistent promotions - Management doesn't listen to suggestions on improvements - Upper management doesn't listen to qualified artists - Management and PR pretends they don't have crunch, but artists crunch as there are not enough artists to cover the projects. - Artists do unpaid overtime to 'cover' the projects. Future bids and timeframes based on only the 'paid time' - resulting in consistent crunching. - Unrealistically low timeframes compared to rest of industry. Constant stress. - Strict logging of breaks and helping others. - Place is a factory. - Experienced people should not work here - Location isn't ideal but no remote options - It traps you with no life outside the studio
