Pros

I had some talented coworkers during my time at the company that kept me hopeful and sane.

Cons

The lack of clear direction and purpose within the studio was evident, with executive leadership seeming more interested in personal pursuits than fostering a cohesive work environment. Unfortunately, this created a culture where employees were pitted against each other and blamed for outcomes that were beyond their control. I witnessed leadership's treatment of long-term employees, who would be let go under the guise of "restructuring," but often due to questioning unrealistic expectations or decisions. The leadership team's behavior was not only ineffective but also damaging, as they often promoted and perpetuated archaic views that were misogynistic and ableist, creating a hostile and uncomfortable work environment. The overall atmosphere was toxic and unsustainable, with a clear lack of respect for employees' time and well-being.

Pros

- Some of the most challenging and stimulating work of my career - Refreshing to work in an environment where we don't settle for good enough - Leadership has an ability to raise capital in a way I've never seen before - The first time in my career I'm building a game that I want to play every day

Cons

- Typical chaotic startup environment - If you need certainty and predictability, it's not a good fit for you - Hybrid environment where about half the company is remote -- sometimes if you work in Sacramento with the same people it can be easy to collaborate but when you work on new strike teams frequently it can be hard to get everyone in the same call and make decisions as quickly as we need to

Lunch paid for. Good pay and benefits.

Cons

All hype no follow through. No rewards for long hours. Lots of turn around and no help with advancement.
