Pros

Free snacks and lunches that have become progressively worse. Occasional launch party packs of candy and stickers and snacks. The job was pretty fun most of the time. Coworkers were mostly great.

Cons

Management is terrible. C-suite doesn't know what they are doing. You sell a product only there to support a very malicious microtransaction machine. Company does not care about employee wellbeing. Not nearly enough pay. Company forces people to live in areas they can't even afford. Nonsense RTO policy. They don't really support your career. You will be fired for minor things even things they legally cannot fire you for.

Pros

• Cool people. • Solid 10% bonus if you do your work well. • Good benefits. • Free and discounted games. • Corporate management is actually pretty transparent about things going on in the news, and communicates changes to employees ahead of time. I really think they do a great job with this. • Pretty decent work-life balance

Cons

• Engineering teams are going to have to move everything from current systems and technologies to Microsoft technologies after the upcoming acquisition. This is going to create a lot of problems in the near future, as some of Microsoft's alternatives are not as good as what we already have. • Things move very slowly sometimes. The company is pretty big now and there are a lot of approvals needed to finish simple things. • Salaries are OK, but not as competitive as other companies for the same work. They can do this because everyone believes they want to work for a video game company like AB. • Many workers have been forced to go back to the office, including many that really do not need to be there. Instead of disciplining or firing and replacing the unproductive workers, management seems to think that making most people come back to the office will fix the problem. • A LOT of useless meetings. • There is a LOT of political correctness, progressive politics, and language policing within the company now. There is a huge emphasis on Diversity and Inclusion over competence for a lot of the positions being hired, and management is ironically oblivious to the new biases and exclusion this creates. As a result of this, the real "gamer" culture is going away and being suppressed, and is being censored by managers with progressive (and in some cases extreme) political ideals. I am a pretty liberal dude, and even I feel like it is better to just keep quiet and not engage with any of this because I don't want to lose my job. This seems to be coming from senior management.
