Pros
Great games, great content, good money!
Cons
Working 14 hours a day 6 days a week for 6 months is no way to live. The games are important but people you work with are even more important than that, it's funny how they call it a family...especially since not all of us are making the BIG $$$.
Advice to Management
You want me to give advice to the R* management, lol. gg.

It was verry clean in the Office. Making great games.

They treat you bad. There is no company culture and you have to work a lot overtime late in the evenings.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Rockstar Games full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
They pay you well. The Benefits are good. If you drink the cool aid, you're golden.
Cons
- Leadership is earned by seniority aka. whoever put up with this bs the longest, therefore managers or directors aren't necessarily suitable for the leadership position.
- There is no career development. Leadership doesn't care about any of that. They only care for face time.
- Politics are everything. If you're in a position where Rockstar North has less skill, but a much bigger ego, you're the loser.
- Toxic masculinity everywhere. Women's opinions aren't acknowledged and always taken with lesser priority than the male counterparts.
- You either drink the cool aid, hard, or you're going to have a hard time.
- There's no company culture. Departments don't intermingle.
- The company made billions of dollars through SharkCards last year, but they keep telling us that there is no money for a Christmas party, or for bigger bonuses.Advice to Management
I know you don't need any advice cause you can buy everything with money, except for yes - happiness. So I hope your shrinks can help you out with that. Go ride your bikes for therapy.

Pros
RockstarGames is one of the best video game developers in the world. The upper management is full of brilliant men and women. Work place is overall chill, not too strict on some rules.Full of friendly people.
Cons
Lower management is full of grumpy people who hate their jobs but never quit. They ruin the experience of being at Rockstargames, They have no idea what they want in their own lives and bring all that negativity onto everyone else.
Advice to Management
Senior management : Keep up the brilliant work, fix lower management.
Lower Management : If you are miserable working for the company,and always complain, quit .Rockstar Games 2018-01-03 16:25 PSTHelpful (11)
