Pros

In my 9 years of career in the Industry this the best company i have ever worked for. The search for quality and pushing the boundaries is constant. The team behind story, quest and graphics are triple AAA world-class standard. The leads behind them are a big part of it. I have tremendously progressed in my domain being among this team. I trust the decisions of the board and PR/Marketing. Their games are loved by their fans, the critics and also sold extremely well, a very rare balance in this industry. I believe it is due to the choice of the heads and the leadership of the leads during the production that brought such stellar results. There are passionate people, who came from abroad definitely not for the money below the biggest names but for the scope of the projects and the will of doing something that will last forever in the gaming world. Poland, life is very affordable for a normal/senior position. I live very well here, much better than the UK or any country in Europe I lived in.

Cons

I would not recommend this company for those who are not ready to push themselves and those who just want a 9 to 17h without any trouble. There will be some overtime coming toward the ends of big milestones. This is a classic flaw in this industry, I had much worse conditions in other companies working crazy hours for a sub-par game. We haven't made the GOTY 2016 without sweat and blood for sure... but since when does masterpieces of this caliber comes by doing nothing ? Salary are excellent for Poland, but about average compared to the top companies in West Europeans countries. The good thing is that It does filter the truly passionate challengers from those who will never come off their comfort zone and are only looking for a quick cash grab.
