Pros

Great benefits, game development focused teams tend to attract people at the top of the industry, good work life balance.

Cons

Executive management has steered this company in a terrible direction by spending a lot of money on acquisitions that they did not know how to utilize while abandoning their core business model. It's a shame so many talented developers had to suffer as a result. Some managers are terrible at leading, instead carrying their abusive practices from previous companies in the AAA gaming space. Aforementioned talented people have left to be where they're actually appreciated, that is if they weren't laid off. Things might improve now that a particular CEO is out of the picture

Pros

-Flexible WFH environment -Decent work life balance and good benefits for the US based employees

Cons

-CEO and CFO insist on being based in New York, when the Company is based in SF. Earnings calls are at 5:30am because screw you West Coast. -CFO will stop at nothing until all the G&A, Accounting, Tax, and, Finance team members are located in Bangalore in an effort to cut costs. Offshoring is massive here and will only continue to expand. -Constant anxiety about layoffs. Sometimes they announce mass layoffs, but more often do it in smaller waves so as to not rattle the cage. -Top heavy org structure. There's probably as many or more SVP, VPs, Sr. Dir level folks as there are individual contributors/leads.
