Great "start" company but not a forever job

-Depending on what studio you're working for, your co-workers become your second family -Great for experience and connections -Events -Free food! -Benefits are great -If you have questions, you get answers almost immediately
Cons
-The problem with Wargaming is that it grew way too quickly which led to a very long list of problems, some still ongoing -They don't have any idea about the future and the company is hanging on by one game -It's very hard to progress within this company because of the lack of expansion, so if you want to be an artist or a writer, this is NOT the company for you (only one game here) -If you get a promotion, be prepared to go through transition HELL and cleaning up people's messes -The pay is bad like really bad and plenty of people work unpaid OT -Clear disconnect between departments -Be prepared because 70% of your job is downtime (again, there's only 1 game so...) -This is NOT a forever job

A good employer until recently

-Takes the ongoing pandemic Very seriously, all departments except IT switched fully to remote work at the start of the pandemic and have remained remote in the 2.5 years since (with the option to come into the office if you'd like). -Until recently employment has been very stable with yearly pay increases and bonuses. This is especially rare in the game dev industry. -Respects Quality Assurance by paying them fairly and not using contract workers. I've been at another developer that clearly thought very little of the QA department and either used primarily contract workers that they would then fire at the end of the project or unfairly paid QA low wages compared to other departments. This is not so here. -There is little to no overtime or crunch, another rarity in the industry.
Cons
-Recently let go of a lot of integral senior staff in an attempt to save money. This has created a very unstable and uncertain working environment as less experienced employees scramble to make up for the years of experience and leadership lost. -New company leadership seems less invested in making a good game that players enjoy. -Some isolated(?) examples of women in lead positions with 10+ years of experience being paid less than their male coworkers in lower positions with fewer years experience.
