Rockstar Games Reviews

Pros

- Great benefits - Collaborative envirnoment

Cons

None I can think of

Pros

Coworkers are great Everyone is very passionate about their work

Cons

Return to office is mandatory which blows and no one wants to do besides the CEO. mandatory hours is also BS when we have studios across the global. There’s times where you’ll be having a meeting at 6 am 9 pm because you have a meeting with a studio in a different country. I know the India studio has night shifts specially for this There’s going to be a mass resignation knowing a lot of the devs are looking for other jobs

Pros

The people at Rockstar are amazingly talented, some of the best I've ever worked with. The culture focused on work, and solving hard problems instead of office politics and drama.

Cons

Rockstar does not use Agile methodology and a lot of their in house tools are showing their age.

Pros

Good pay and benefits, nice people.

Cons

Long hours and long commute

Pros

That is really an entertaining company

Cons

Nothing that is really a con

Pros

If you love video games and films, so does most of your team.

Cons

With no structure, I found myself doing multiple jobs due to a lack of understanding or experience. Messy and chaotic daily.

Pros

I feel the team @ R* is very welcoming, the vibe and energy is overwhelmingly positive— many of the members of R* have been there for well over a decade. As a new hire, they still go above & beyond to make you feel apart of the family. From management to the core team each person has been very helpful answering questions and onboarding. They each work closely together and communicate flawlessly — being surrounded by so many passionate people you feel the need to deliver your best work.

Cons

Only downside thus far is, since spending so much time working in the world of R* it’s difficult to go back to casually playing GTA/RDR etc.

Pros

* The people are great, both at their jobs and just as people. * You're working on games that are beloved by all (or highly anticipated) * You can learn a lot from veterans that have been there 15+ years

Cons

* In such a large, established studio, things are done a certain way and you have to conform to that, for good or ill. * There is a lot of "red tape" involved with a lot of changes where multiple people from multiple departments have to sign off on things before any work can get done. As a result it can take weeks or months to begin work on a new feature, or you start work and then have to pause for a while after discovering more people need to be roped in.

Pros

Lots of room to explore interests, great friendly and casual team, managers willing to support and listen.

Cons

Very busy and fast-paced which can sometimes be overwhelming.

Pros

Amazing company to work for

Cons

All new way tester start on nights
