      Pros

      Culture, people, play hard work hard environment

      Cons

      No longer gameplay first, it is now just profit over everything. It used to be the best place to work, but now it prioritizes money and is no longer innovative and fun place to work.

      Pre-Acquisition Positives Albeit Confused Leadership

      Associate director media activation

      Pros

      The teams are brilliant, hardworking, collaborative, and just the best people. Emotional intelligence abounds, as does a love for the work and brands. Despite the cons listed, in my time here I had by far the healthiest work environment I’ve experienced in 13+ years in Media.

      Cons

      Process, training, organization, role definition/expectations, etc. were cloudy, inconsistent, and often misdirected by anxious and distracted leaders. Decisions were made, political strategies happened, and work was delegated to boost the eventual resume and interview fodder of fleeing leadership, and set unsuspecting team members up for the chopping block in their wake. The Microsoft acquisition was a challenge for everyone, as acquisitions always are. We were promised grand things that never came to be by the new, overly-zealous and emotionally removed execs - additional support, job stability, new and challenging projects, Xbox pride and brotherhood, etc. Layoffs then hit in waves, some leadership selfishly made a run for the hills while gaslighting the team. Truth and transparency across the board could’ve empowered the cowardly to handle things differently.

      Pros

      - Passionate and talented coworkers - Daily work is fun and the team balances high quality work with reasonable amounts of feedback - Being able to work on a title I love - Internal change is happening--slowly but surely - It's very rewarding making players happy and contributing to a strong art team - Little to no crunch on my team - Good work-life balance, producers work hard to make sure schedules are flexible

      Cons

      - It's corporate and all the cons that go with it. It feels like a constant tug of war between developers and c-suite - Bonuses are non-existent - Pay is not competitive at all compared to other AAA studios - Executives say the team is collaborative but behave in a top-down manner - Profit > people, like any AAA studio they will lay off talented people with great reviews and standing
