Pros

-Great pay -Like-minded co-workers about vr -Get to work on many different VR headsets

Cons

-Upper management is so unforgivably bad its funny, they do nothing for anything on the game, -Rec rooms "Community Teams" are hell on earth 18 yr's who have absolutely no work experience, and they control the whole game moderation. Or lack there most of the in-office devs fix the slop that they do. -The making of Rros always ends up in development hell, etc, Survive the night (make it to midnight) and my little monsters most devs do nothing all day. -Devs who have been there since 2016, have the biggest ego and still do nothing to help you with any issues you have, -This job will kill you from the inside. -The QA team is a joke. they never find bugs before ships but yet somehow some guy finds a game-breaking bug within 2 minutes with the update being out lol. -They still haven't made a component anti-cheat, and cheat engine "skids" are still rampant they still cope by saying "The hacking problem isn't that bad it's just a few people on PC" While true still doesn't excuse the fact that they haven't updated it since 2019 -this company sucks,

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.
