What are perks and other benefits like at Rockstar Games?

Fantastic team; interesting and challenging projects; slowly improving work culture; good benefits and in-office facilities

No OT pay; forced RTO despite the job being fully compatible with WFH; upper management often don't have a concrete plan and end up tasking the same thing to multiple teams leading to confusion and wasted time

A lot of good benefits such as life insurance, end-of-year bonuses, private health insurance and Christmas gifts.

Forced overtime, chaotic and disordered working environment, toxic personalities, low salaries (relative to expectations), exploitative practices.

Working with cool like-minded people on the industries best titles. Great office environment and really good perks and benefits even for junior staff.

None that I experienced. QA generally is a lower paid entry level role.

Experience working for a AAA games company. They provide perks like BUPA healthcare, Fitness Budget, ability to purchase shares at a reduced price, free meals and the potential for end of year bonuses.

Very corporate and toxic environment where the company is prioritized over the employees and they are never willing to take responsibility for any bad decisions made by management (of which there are plenty). They actively try to push a family narrative but have no problems lying to employees or intentionally avoiding serious issues raised...treating any constructive criticism as an attack. Managers tend to have this "you should be grateful to work here" attitude whenever you try to raise legitimate concerns. Advancement through the company is rarely based on merit but more on knowing the right people, fitting some company agenda or a willingness to submit/side with the company on all fronts regardless of how that bad that can be at times. In terms of creativity, they were once trend setters in the industry, willing to push boundaries and focus on on player enjoyment. Unfortunately these days they seem to just rinse and repeat the same game design and mechanics that made them their millions because their focus and drive for everything they do now is rooted in money/profit.

Health coverage and other small benefits End of year bonus

No interest in employees wellbeing. Absolutely NO flexibility in hybrid or remote working. Very low pay especially taking into account the job requirements. Extremely low salary increase Expected to do additional tasks not covered by job description without any pay increase. Performance reviews are unfair and only target any negative aspect however small (including a question asked).

Many benefits, great work environment.

Little control over own work hours or ideas.

amazing team, feeling of working on something bigger, great benefits, free breakfasts, and lunches

can't really think of any

Good benefits and salary, an open-minded work environment in terms of inclusivity, good relocation package, supportive during the pandemic

Upper management does whatever they please, for whatever reason. They contradict themselves over time and completely ignore what you were told when hired. Read your contract carefully and bear in mind that if any benefit they say out loud during interviews is not mentioned in writing, you'll lose it at some point, so make sure you know what is 100% guaranteed before accepting the job. If you want to work here and get promoted you should be willing to dedicate your time and life to their projects.

Worked on globally recognized titles like GTA V, RDR2, and GTA Trilogy – a great name to have on your resume Structured QA processes and exposure to game development pipelines Access to experienced teams and the chance to learn from some of the best in the industry Strong brand reputation and job security in a well-established company Decent benefits and workplace facilities

Limited upward mobility, especially for QA staff Work-life balance can be challenging during crunch periods Communication between departments can sometimes be siloed Creative input is minimal for non-design roles Internal recognition and promotions could be more transparent

+ Amazing and talented people to work with + Cool and exciting projects + Industry pushing tools + Great benefits

- In my mind I can only find one and that is that the social life at the office is near to zero. Moving here from another country without knowing anyone here can be rough depending on your personality.
