Pros

There are some good and smart people working there. Generally relaxed environment. Comparable bonuses and stock grants to other game companies based on level.

Cons

Management centres on a cult of personality. Knowledge of games and the gaming space is not where it should be. Too much money and effort is spent bringing bad products to market. Consistently chasing the Image of Rockstar Games with a major lack of creative leadership. From the logo to some of the game choices, ego often gets in the way of good decision making. Top down management stifles a lot of creativity. "Cool Kids" club dominates the culture. If one isn't part of that group, the will stagnate. President will have parties during a work day but only invite select individuals.

Pros

Congratulations on joining an IT department sustained primarily by optimism and certificates whose expiration dates invite reflection. Tickets enter a triage process best described as ceremonial — acknowledged warmly, processed philosophically, resolved at the discretion of the universe. Infrastructure decisions suggest a confident autodidactic energy that formal training might have tempered. Your recommendations will be received, appreciated verbally, and composted with dignity. The company charges a premium for its products and charges again for the remainder of them, which is either visionary pricing strategy or a personality trait depending on your tolerance. The gaming chairs are ambitious. The retention numbers are instructive

Cons

• Your labor props up a machine that monetizes joy incrementally until joy is gone • Every unresolved ticket is a monument to institutional indifference • Heidegger called it thrownness — you were thrown here specifically • The infrastructure will outlive your dignity but not your burnout • Mark Fisher already described this place in Capitalist Realism and did not recommend it • You will achieve nothing that compounds • The servers go down. You stay down longer.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
