Pros

Good Benefits and Pay. Nice Office. Some wonderful people work here. Unfortunately they are not given the authority to make meaningful change.

Cons

Working at Rec Room has completely destroyed my self confidence. With a combination of gaslighting, political decision making, command/control culture, and constant crunch there is no joy in working here. The company grew too quickly with leadership being unwilling to address problems when they cropped up and now unwilling to recognize how much they are affecting everyone that works here. Positive reviews you will see must be old, from people young in their career who haven't had the experience of what a good work environment actually looks like or from entrenched developers that have been here longer than 2 years who are afforded special treatment very few others get. They will try to sell you a Rec Room that doesn't exist. It used to, but not anymore.

Pros

Great people and culture. Loved the early years of community and growth we achieved. Learned a lot and made a bunch of great friends within the community and staff. Had amazing benefits. I'm going to miss all the people I worked with, but I do not regret working here. All good things must come to an end, as they say.

Cons

Unfortunately, it grew too fast and could not keep up with the profit for the number of players and staff. A change in company direction caused dislike among the employees and players. Just wished that higher-ups would take into consideration more of the staff and community suggestions. I'm sure there could have been a solution to appeal to everyone while still making a profit. Recovery to bring back what the community wanted was too late.
