Business Outlook

Pros

Gaming company culture and people

Cons

While other companies are being extremely flexible with their employees, letting them work remotely from anywhere, SIE is making a big deal about it and not letting people work from a different location (outside California). There is no flexibility whatsoever in letting people move to a different campus, for example.
