Riding off the fumes of their past

Pros

Decent salaries and robust health insurance, not to mention free, collector level games on launch is a nice perk as well. Relatively positive reputation among consumers which have played Arkane's games. There are very talented low level employees. A small team.

Cons

Extremely top heavy, there is an excessive amount of management making decisions ignorant of other teams which is contrary to what I was sold during the interviewing process. Overall a lack of transparency which is followed by a strong elitist mentality among the leadership which is also parasitic to the individuals they are supposed to be leading. Leadership steadfastly refuses to communicate with their colleagues and fellow leads, when things go wrong they often blame the ones they are leading. Decisions often designed by committee which can be very frustrating, especially when there is no accountability and ones not in charge and being pulled multiple directions. Very rough crunch time, spent many nights working into early morning at the end of projects with no compensation for this. Dont expect a large (if any) bonus.
