      Pros

      Great pay. Great facilities. Smart people in the trenches, for the most part. Hiring John Riccitiello was a smart move. Keep cleaning up Senior Management, and then clean up Studio Management.

      Cons

      Bouncing around from boss to boss. If you don't have a champion, you will not succeed. The "drop the bottom 5%" of the company every year process is annoying, especially when you'll hire back worse. Recruiting is AWFUL. Games are unimaginative. Processes are under-invested in. Only time improvements are made is when team/studio is in severe 'pain'. There is no economy of scale at this large company. You'll find that they silo'd everything, and stopped trying to share technology.

      Fast paced startup mindset in an established corporate ladder

      Cons

      Privatization might cause headcount reduction, change the tempo and culture in the organization. 🤞

      A lot of good and smart people that are able to create good work together.

      Cons

      Restructuring every year, nepotism, no clear path for career progression at all, senior leadership isn’t communicating clearly, acquisition communication has been non-existent, layoffs are a constant factor and fear, unclear why some people get promoted and many high performers do not
