Pros

Pay is decent Nice office Some flexibility (if in a good team) Mostly decent folk 10 free games a year (EA ones)

Cons

The leadership team, are truly amateurish; a couple of years ago they restructured and put a new inexperienced team in place whose only purpose seems is serving themselves. It’s like they’re pretending to be leaders but actually have no clue whatsoever. It’s become a toxic environment and boysclub culture with these people now leading the ship. The only way to get ahead is to become a sycophant and talk dirt on others.

Cons

Restructuring every year, nepotism, no clear path for career progression at all, senior leadership isn’t communicating clearly, acquisition communication has been non-existent, layoffs are a constant factor and fear, unclear why some people get promoted and many high performers do not
