Pros

There are some very knowledgeable people in the company, that have worked on some of the biggest games in the world, if you are willing you can learn a lot from them. The company is young and if you are in a high position you can still make an impact in the culture, that will help you in our day-to-day tasks. The current project is ambitious and interesting, and will look good in any CV due to the names of the people working at the company. Very good pay and benefits, they have an office in Altrincham with easy access via train, but you can mostly work remote.

Cons

If you are not part of the famous/influential people in the project, you are treated as second class, there have been some hiring from the parent company that raised some eyebrows. There is a clear lack of organization and miscommunication in the company, one of the side effects of being young, but they are not being addressed by management and are growing bigger every day. The project IMO is missing direction, every team is focused on doing their own work, by doing their own thing, the project feels more like a bunch of demos being held by duct tape. Another comment mentioned that in the beginning there was a lot of excitement and a positive feeling towards the future of the project, but as the reality is setting in people are noticing that there will be huge problems to address which are not being talked by leadership, and morale is dropping fast.

Pros

The talented and friendly people within the company you get to speak to and learn from on a day-to-day basis. The flexibility and benefits are also a nice positive.

Cons

Communication can often be challenging. There have been murmurings about bullying and a lack of empathy from certain individuals in higher management, which often went unaddressed. Overall this created an unprofessional environment and culture which did not reflected what was advertised about the studio. It was often hard to feel supported or defended, particularly when issues raised.

Pros

Great benefits, massive sense of ownership of the content you produce, with decent amount of creative control. A lot is being done to give everyone a real understanding of the direction, progress and accomplishments across departments and the project as a whole. You do see the bigger picture and where your work fits into it. Incredible wealth of experience and skill of senior staff, without a sense of detachment or ego issues - folks are friendly, open and not overly formal. Unprecedented amount of flexibility with other responsibilities during work hours Good production and planning, with a lot of room for negotiating and adjusting and no crunch in my experience thus far.

Cons

Remote work focus does lead to a sense of isolation and loneliness and there aren't many opportunities to casually connect with your coworkers Remotely working with people on other continents oftentimes HR has sometimes been quite disconnected from the development team There are some issues with lacking or outdated documentation As anywhere else, your content will may be re-scoped, reduced or outright cut from the final project Symptomatic of the industry in general, there is a big disproportion between the number of men and women you end up working with. The people are genuinely progressive and wholeheartedly inclusive, but it is something to be mindful of
