Pros

The compensation and working on Fortnite

Cons

Leadership creates a toxic and unsafe culture. Teams are pushed to the limit to hit unrealistic objectives, while executives take zero accountability for outcomes or how people are treated. My experience with the President is especially negative. His leadership style is self-serving, manipulative, ego-driven, and consistently dismissive of employee wellbeing, all of which causes high turnover and burns out talented colleagues. Working with him isn't leadership, it's survival. HR won’t publish the numbers, but if you do the math yourself, roughly 3 out of 4 Directors and Senior Directors don’t even make it a full year under his leadership. He carefully ensures that candidates do not speak with peers at that level during interviews for roles under him.

Pros

One of the juggernauts in gaming, and moves at lightning speed. You’re always working on something fun and creative and colleagues are for the most part hardworking professionals who want to get things done. Incredible company to work for, just be prepared for long hours to align with the US cohort.

Cons

Like any other massive corporation, priorities can change rapidly and you have to be agile and ready to adapt. Flexibility is key, especially around your work schedule.
