Pros

+ Industry standard salary (not competitive but not below the standard as well) + Very friendly and sharing colleagues — glad to meet them over there! + Social activities and charity efforts are very cool

Cons

- Old fashioned development pipeline which is hard to call it AAA in this day and age - Obsessive ship-it-fast mindset, P1 bugs & issues are the real tasks while features/content are not - Extreme emphasis on (fake) positivity so that you could side-track actual problems easily - Always hands-off attitude on tasks, you have to prove that it is their work to do - Zero commitments towards cultural and development-related problems except "talk to your lead/director individually and they'll follow-up with relevant parties" aka Backchannelling-as-a-Service - They are trying hard to give a professional, caring and "inclusive" studio outlook while in fact they are havily pushing people back and addressing issues by convincing you that they were not real problems in the first place.

Pros

Lots of talented people at Rocksteady. Great social events and milestone/team lunches and drinks. (Before covid)

Cons

Very big brother feel in the studio. Tracking, lack of privacy, restrictive access. Too many changes during the project. Lots of good work thrown away. Salary was just enough to get by. Not enough to do well in London.
