Pros

Some really exceptional people in the studio

Cons

There is a huge issue with the way the studio is run and especially with Leadership. Just like another reviewer on here I too noticed the 5 Star review titled "The Right Direction". From experience, I can see that this was a feeble attempt by one of the studio heads in an attempt to improve the reviews. I say feeble, because it's very obvious who wrote it and that person is the most disliked in the studio. This studio has potential because people who work there are both very experienced and nice to work with. However, this studio lacks vision, technical prowess and the ability to look to the future of game development. If you want to work at a studio with a vision, culture and the ability to keep staff, then you may want to skip Firesprite.

Pros

Great Sony benefits and salary, remote working, lots of holidays and less contracted hours than other studios Feels like making good progress in the work (more than other studios I worked for) Issues that have come up since I started got addressed quickly or tried to Friendly coworkers and fun parties Seem committed to training and improving even if it doesnt always go right

Cons

Lots of pressure at the moment directors can get carried away with changing directions, gets confusing and frustrating, wasted work Some people jaded from things the studio has been through before and the project Little concerned for longer term future of the company, specially with the industry cutting back jobs at the moment
