Rockstar Games Reviews

Cons

I love this dang company

Cons

Heavy technical debt and lack of organization.
Very long periods of crunch.
Low pay given the cost of living in the area.
Lack of vision and ability to say "No"; need to focus on making the core gameplay fun rather than adding another unpolished vestigial feature.

Cons

Crunch.

Cons

Cons

Boss system is killing me. A lot of support tickets

Cons

work life balance could improve

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 $$$.

Cons

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

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.

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.
