Pros

The people are fantastic. The benefits and employee bonuses are a cut above any other company in the industry. Dallas and Plano are very affordable places to live. The studio is being moved and the new joint looks like it will be fantastic.

Cons

Gearbox Software has a lot of good people working for them, but is grossly overshadowed by the 'groups' that exist. It's almost like being in high school again where there is a major divide between people. They also quarantine QA and treat the entire department as though it isn't an actual part of the company. The QA team hosts its own Christmas party and isn't invited to the 'Gearbox Christmas Party.' Frankly, there is a lot of improvement to be made on how Gearbox Software is ran when it comes to these things.
