Pros

Vacation time and perks are really good. Some niche opportunities to work on interesting stacks like Go, Unreal and Rust. I managed to survive ther for 7 years.

Cons

The company uses a variety of internal engines, which can lead to fragmentation and inefficiencies across projects. The tech stack could benefit from modernization. There’s potential for more innovation, but teams sometimes lack the motivation or support to explore new technologies. The recent return-to-office (RTO) policy has raised concerns among employees, as it feels somewhat like a strategy to reduce headcount without making public announcements. LAYOFF. Compensation is below the industry average for AAA game studios, which can make it challenging to attract and retain top talent. There are individuals in leadership positions who are resistant to change, which can hinder the company's ability to evolve and stay competitive in the market. This is just a proof that their methods are innefective.

Pros

Remote work, free games. Good co-workers.

Cons

Horrendous pay, expectations of work absolutely unreasonable. Turnover rate pretty high, and instead of hiring new employees, just had the remaining team take over the work that required like 10+ employees. Then after requiring 200% productivity to make up for the lack of a team, complained about teams.
