- 2.0May 3, 2023Senior Sound DesignerFormer Employee, more than 5 yearsAtlanta, GA
Pros
Passionate community and coworkers give a fun atmosphere
Cons
Not a sufficient atmosphere to learn about modern game dev styles, tools, or techniques. Constant need to ship content creates an exhausting environment that always feels like a never ending wheel. They often confuse brands, skins, and and deals with player connection, excitement, and engagement.

Pros
The teams here are wonderful and talented developers who are driven and passionate about their work.
Cons
Management is terrible. They have favorites. They don’t hire and promote for talent. Only their buddies even when they run games into the ground. They hire so many developers, artists, producers for big projects for big plans, then lay off for other big plans. They’ve done this three or found times in the last 7 years. It’s disrespectful to their employees who worked so hard to bring them where they are. These big plans never work out, they hire more people and make new plans that result in laying off several people. They always have ‘big plans’ to come, and ‘solid direction’ that just lets everyone they just hired, go. They also campaign to their employees to give hirez a five start review on Glassdoor.
