Pros
During my time at the company, the team was highly professional and there was an unlimited PTO and vacation policy in place. Health Insurance was really good.
Cons
It has been a challenging experience working with a CEO who has limited real-world experience leading a videogame company. There have been many instances of missed/late payments to contractors. Daily meetings for show and tell that would last hours were a regular occurrence, and there have been instances of the CEO yelling at leads. There have also been instances of employees coming to work late and under the influence of alcohol, as well as the CEO and his friends playing games during work hours and expecting employees to work extra hours without additional compensation. All of this before new directors came in and changed the company's culture. The company has been working on a project for the past six years, and when it finally had the opportunity to complete it with a team of industry veterans, the CEO unexpectedly dismissed everyone, citing a desire to return to a "dream garage studio" atmosphere, bringing back what the new directors tried to remove. During all this time there have also been instances of nepotism, with the CEO consistently promoting friends and family members to leadership roles and empowering individuals with little experience. Overall, this has created a culture of lies, toxic behavior, crunch, and payment delays. I would not recommend you to start your career here.
