Overall a good place to work, but could be improved
Pros
Good location, nice view. Benefits are pretty good: free bus pass, good health/vision/dental coverage, lots of subsidies for other services. Most of the people I work with are enjoyable to work with, intelligent, and open to ideas. I enjoy the team I'm on and like my manager. Great yearly parties (want more!) Generally I have the opportunity to participate in learning events on and off site, but I usually have to take the initiative in finding these and asking my manager. Good work/life balance, at least on my team. It varies from dept to dept. I think the executive team does make good decisions in general. I think the company will continue to be successful.
Cons
Compensation is low for game industry. They claim it is the median rate, but they could attract a lot more talent by being more competitive. I feel a large disconnect between myself and the executives. Some are more approachable than others, but most seem to think they are above you and don't try to engage with you. A lot of the leadership (at all levels) is promoted from within. This can be a good thing, but I've had some issues with past managers because they simply aren't good leaders.
