"Great work-life balance but company's strategy and direction is confusing"

Pros
The NYC office has a very good work-life balance (rarely work O/T) and great benefits. Most employees are genuinely nice people who are fun to work with.
Cons
Are we a product studio? A games studio? An innovation company? Or a production house? It's very confusing. Also, the salary spread within departments is very odd and implies favoritism towards particular employees. If you are interviewing at ustwo NYC, negotiate hard for a good salary up front - you'll never get it otherwise.
Advice to Management
Culture is everyone's responsibility, but it starts at the top. Be more purposeful in your interactions in order to role model a healthy, positive culture for the rest of the company.

"Revolving Door at the leadership level"
StarStarStarStarStarI have been working at ustwo full-time
Pros
Very little overtime and pleasant co-workers.
Cons
So much change of the group of 5 or so in the leadership position in the studio I worked in. Values/principles that were initially in place get misconstrued, forgotten about and outright ignored, in order to win over a client. Way to much focus on delivery, pleasing the client and trying to get out of the red - that their original selling point of user-centered design has gone out the window.
Advice to Management
Decide if you want to be an actual design studio or a production company for silicon valley. Honestly its just getting confusing.

Pros
Talented employees, fantastic office environment, interesting client / projects, truly collaborative, transparent culture, diversity
Cons
Each employee must take initiative for the career development personally. While there is framework to support, this place is great only for those with self-motivated people.
Advice to Management
We love the way you lead. Keep it fun by making everyday a good day. Would like to see IP work from New York soon.

Pros
I had the chance to do a six week contract job with ustwo in the fall last year (2014). As soon as I walked through the door, I felt the extremely strong sense of cohesiveness amongst everyone there. The minimal level of hierarchy made me feel like I had equal control over the project and I had as much face time with the client as everyone else, which was an awesome feeling as a contractor; they very much respected... my work and opinion and treated me as if I was one of their own. I was spoiled with free coffee, donuts, beer, lunch, snacks and candy. They had incredible speakers come in weekly. Many people from the other international offices were there constantly and everyone was always making sure all the employees were happy and comfortable. They even let me sit in on the larger company meetings and were happy to hear my point of view on how to improve the already incredibly impressive work they were putting out. The feedback I received was also spot on and very constructive.

The New York office is still putting a ton of effort into making ustwo one of the best companies to work for in the history of working for companies, so there were A LOT of meetings. That said, they were for the betterment of the company, so hard to call this a con. I can't think of anything else as a con. Wonderful place to work.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing.
