Pros

Work from home allowed Flexible working hours Fun to work with artists and game designers Freedom in implementation as long as it does not reach common libraries where you will encounter the manager developers Ability to control studio behaviour if you are good at making games

Cons

Too many software processes that multiply admin work Lack of growth for individual contributors in terms of skills, salary Obvious favoritism shown by the director Lots of developers who act like managers and want to be managers resulting in fewer developers doing actual work

Pros

Excellent company. Clear winner in the sector. Treats its people well even as it manages through business cycles and need to be leaner in some areas. Committed to maintaining industry leadership through heavy investment in best content / products.

Cons

Nothing major. Could move faster at times, but making progress there.
