Pros
Schedule was somewhat flexible Company name recognition Gym located inside building Complimentary beverages for employees It's a game company so you'll be playing games
Cons
Health Insurance package is poor and not for family oriented employees. Salaries offered are below industry average for the game industry. The company is located next to Elliott Ave which is often congested with traffic during the daytime. Although in Lower Queen Anne, there are few restaurants within a reasonable walking distance. The post office is still a good 20 min walk. If you do not live in the city you will have to transfer to a bus route that is sporadic at best. Parking at the company is not free and street parking is difficult to come by. In regards to the work environment, it is a traditional management hierarchy. However, I found that there was a consistent hiring of C-level employees. I worked with the game development division of the company; I felt that many employees were of low educational levels. I noticed that many coworkers were community college or lower including leads and managers even at the executive level. This did tend to lower the performance bar. Managers often promoted and recruited lower tier employees and overall this was not conducive in attracting top-tier talent.
