RecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at High Moon Studios full-time (More than a year)
Pros
- Not a whole lot of crunch. Obviously, there is crunch like any gaming studio, but not a ton of it. The most I've crunched for was three months straight, but that was extremely rare.
- Free lunch, free snacks, free drinks!
- Friendly culture. Everyone is very accepting which makes coming in as a new employee a very easy transition.
- Town hall meetings to keep employees updated. Usually bi-monthly.
- Get to work on a variety of projects.
- North County San Diego location!!!!!
- Smaller, more intimate studio with the huge studio scale projects.
- Call of Duty... Destiny... Two of the biggest franchises in the world that you can work on.
- Outside-of-work activities such as Frisbee, Yoga, and more.Cons
No real cons other than anywhere in San Diego can be pretty expensive.

Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at High Moon Studios.
Interview
Recruiter/HR person solicited me out of the blue even though I was not looking. I went through their process because I had a minor interest in Destiny. Like most companies they use this knowledge to be very arrogant. They acted as if though I was inconveniencing them, and ended the interview early when they decided I was not the perfect fit. I do not recommend that anyone should apply here.
Interview Questions
- What is your reaction when someone like a director tells you that he doesn't care that you build it correctly, it just has to be done by tomorrow. Answer Question
