Pros

Still retains a significant but dwindling number of extremely experienced developers and engineers who have built incredible games. Engineering work itself is well executed and teams enjoy a lot of the work being done. Many of the products are excellent and its enjoyable to see games being build with it.

Cons

All senior management roles are being drained out of Europe and elsewhere into North America. Sites are being closed or recruitment limited. Individuals and managers are considered replaceable. Extremely capable and highly skilled engineers have been let go, purely to meet changing staffing targets. This can happen even on extremely successful and profitable projects. Salaries for many job roles are on the low side, the compensation cycle has also increased to once in 18 months for 2023. Has decayed from one of the very best companies to work for a couple of years ago. An example of this employee survey results have dropped hugely from almost completely positive in previous years and are now not as openly shared as in the past. Really hoping this decay and staff attrition will stop soon.

Pros

-Flexible WFH environment -Decent work life balance and good benefits for the US based employees

Cons

-CEO and CFO insist on being based in New York, when the Company is based in SF. Earnings calls are at 5:30am because screw you West Coast. -CFO will stop at nothing until all the G&A, Accounting, Tax, and, Finance team members are located in Bangalore in an effort to cut costs. Offshoring is massive here and will only continue to expand. -Constant anxiety about layoffs. Sometimes they announce mass layoffs, but more often do it in smaller waves so as to not rattle the cage. -Top heavy org structure. There's probably as many or more SVP, VPs, Sr. Dir level folks as there are individual contributors/leads.
