Has its highs and lows

Pros

It's an awesome brand to be a part of. You can find some great people here and have the opportunity to be a part of some very cool projects.

Cons

Career paths and growth potential feel near non-existant, employees feel out of the loop and unfortunately often unappreciated. It does sometimes feel like they depend on the brand name to bring in top-talent, but it doesn't seem that top-talent stay very long. Some departments are in need of a complete overhaul from a talent perspective.

Pros

Projects are really fun and interesting. Co-workers are smart and good fun to be around. My supervisor was hardworking but easy-going and very supportive of the team.

Cons

Difficult to navigate politics with a few key people clearly holding the power & protecting themselves/friends--at times to detriment of business. Yellow badges are a nightmare. You have all of the responsibility but none of the protections or dignity of regular employees.

Pros

Many people are in their dream jobs, making video games for a living. Really smart, hard working people in a mostly relaxed, fun atmosphere. Generous training policy.

Cons

Game teams definitely have to crunch near title launch. Some game projects get cancelled; that's just the nature of the industry. Most managers have promoted through technical or design backgrounds. Very few have strong management skills.
