Good job fun people

Pros

It was really fun to work with video games, and the people were great. They gave freebies every once in a while. They have company gatherings sometimes.

Cons

It gets to be repetitive especially around when the game is close to release. Competitive environment. You get stuck in one area for a long time.

Pros

Great environment, great people and free video games/swag! Great on-site gym, cool decorations, team events at Main Event (free bowling and pizza, etc).

Cons

Low pay for customer service, unreliable tools and major layoffs (at time of employment)... Taking calls all day is mentally, emotionally and physically draining and the metrics are always being tightened which means "more, more, more". No real room to move out of CS roles in the Austin location. You would have to travel to CA as TX is purely CS. It can wear down on the psyche extremely quickly and make one dread arriving to work.

Pros

+ All the free soda you can handle! + Working with like-minded gamers that want to make the project better. + Getting to see your favorite franchise in its rough, initial stages. It's quite the journey from beginning to end.

Cons

- 12 hour crunch stretches. - QA Leads don't really care about the brand new hires. - Bug quota's can make play testing a chore.
