Pros

- The employees that I worked with on a regular basis were AMAZING, intelligent, caring, talented, supportive people. - Good variety of work & clients - This first part of my time there was great. I really felt that my voice was heard, and the company valued it's people.

Cons

- New Executive team was brought in (even though the company is still trying to make money in the post-Covid era) and drastically changed the culture. - Studio wide scrums were suddenly too expensive and pointless, so our connection felt severed. - New business seems to be the only thing that matters, work with long standing clients (like Xbox) felt beneath the Executive team. - Salary was pretty low for the work I was doing. - Processes and tools were changing all the time without a clear direction. It made it harder to track changes and keep the team organized.

Pros

The projects are pretty fun and you get to work on some really cool IP with industry-leading titles and software. The team is super competent and worth their salt. I found myself learning a lot from the FTEs. The pay is really fair and competitive for the market rate due to the clients they work with.

Cons

Clients can be difficult to work with as there are many layers of red tape that have to be cut through and sometimes multi-international timezones for feedback. When the workload is good, it can be almost dizzying the amount of pieces need to be output and revised. File management is OK but could be improved upon a bit (OneDrive can be a headache). Workload can go from 100-0 almost overnight depending on the time of year and client budget.
