Pros

- nice and highly competent colleagues - good work ethic and high-quality standards - company culture - well-known products (Fortnite, Unreal Engine)

Cons

- high-stress environment, quite short deadlines - management is tending towards pro-AI - work-life balance is quite poor - limited freedom to pursue hobby projects that could turn entrepreneurial - A high focus on the metaverse means fun projects get cancelled that don't neatly fit into it
