Pros

- Gaming industry - Environment is open to inclusion and diversity. All people are welcomed. - Remote work - Whimsical rewards and swag - Occasional trips to interesting locations / conferences - Semi-regular pay bumps - Equipment allowance - A lot of good people doing their best

Cons

- Unqualified people in leadership positions - Low salaries, unequal pay ranges for fem and/or people of color - Bloat of middle management which leads to micro management - "Unlimited vacation trap" where employees are encouraged to take vacations but deadlines pressure people to either avoid them or leave stressed out when they come back to catch up - Nepotism is a standard practice - User base are a mix of supportive and toxic people which reflects the company culture - Undertones of patriarchy hide beneath the glamour

Pros

They do "Unlimited" time off right - I don't feel guilt taking time away from work, if anything I get nudged when it's been too long. Flexibility is amazing as long as I go to the meetings I need to go to - otherwise I start, stop, work when I want. People are fun and easy to work/play with even though we're all remote. It's small enough to not feel like I am lost or unseen, but big enough that I see the advancement opportunities. Pay transparency is nice, I like being able to see my pay band. Resources towards DEI. They pay their erg leads and that's cool.

Cons

While it's great for me personally, I've seen how flexibility can throw off my team's ability to sync and deliver. Culture is too nice for accountability. They do 360 reviews but I don't feel like I get actionable or critical feedback from my peers, but that's not really different from anywhere I've been before. But it feels like low performers can skate by and the workload inevitably gets picked up by average and high performers. I love my manager, but overall the managers seem pretty inexperienced as people leaders - just people who were promoted for being good ICs. Related to being "too nice" I think they don't know how to hold their teams accountable.
