Pros

- Catered lunch once a week - Fully stocked kitchen - Great coworkers

Cons

- Constant lies (on everything, not just job security of which there is none), they promise that no one is let go or fired without warning, saying that "they'd absolutely see it coming" and then firing/letting go about 50% of their staff throughout 2022! - Execs don't understand that buying things like new game machines, donuts, pizza parties don't fix the deeply embedded problems within the studio - Sexist, condescending, negligent: Working here was the first time I ever truly, continually experienced sexism in the workplace. Execs continue to claim no understanding of why people say this and that there's no problem (hello, red flag!) - Inconsistent, they never practice what they preach and will lie about what they previously said to cover their behind. You will absolutely be at fault for mistakes that weren't your own. - No work/life balance, constantly needing/be asked to do work outside of work hours, contacted on days off, etc. - Disrespect, execs would constantly trash talk employees and then sweet talk them to their face. The list for cons is a lot longer than this, but I've blocked most of the bad out because all I want to remember from my time at this studio was the memories I made with the coworkers. But, just because the coworkers are great does NOT make up for all the bad. And there's a lot of it. Do not work here and don't listen to the 5-star reviews. Look how many people found the low-rated views helpful. THAT says something.

Pros

• the people there are so talented • catered lunch • opportunities to work with big brands • people grew fast! people who I worked with got promoted to management positions pretty quickly which is pretty hard to do in other companies. • holidays off and had a week off during the summer which was pretty cool.

Cons

• some departments were being stretched thin and had to wear many hats which some couldn't handle the stress but it does happen a lot with big tech/ gaming companies • people were toxic and they spread misinformation which would cause confusion about projects. The office became so overwhelming because people were constantly complaining, bad mouthing and just didn’t have the best moods. People would walk around with bad attitudes when being asked a simple question and it wasn’t upper management. • this company is so public because of the founders and the hate and misinformation spread from people is so wrong. Don’t believe everything sour people say on the internet.
