Pros
Working on globally recognized franchises like Dawn of War, Company of Heroes and Age of Empires brings a unique sense of purpose and pride. The people at Relic have incredible depth of experience - many have decades in the industry - and are generous in sharing knowledge and mentorship. The studio offers competitive benefits, and the office itself is beautiful and located in a very strategic part of Vancouver.
Cons
Like many studios, Relic was significantly affected by the recent challenges in the gaming industry, which have understandably limited career growth opportunities in the short term. SEGA’s ownership period brought stability and resources, but its corporate direction sometimes constrained Relic’s potential to fully express its own creative and strategic strengths. There’s genuine hope that the studio’s new direction will give it more freedom to thrive and recapture its best form.
