      Great games, terrible artist's pipeline

      Pros

      - Friendly people - relaxed atmosphere - great games - freedom to grow into different roles

      Cons

      - The tools. The reason why the games are constantly delayed is because of the tools. Rage is a very artist unfriendly engine. As an artist, expect to suffer through tools issues on a daily basis. The tools department is stuck in their ways, unwilling to admit that their pipeline is inefficient and contributing to poor productivity. Band-aids are issued to patch up issues in the short term, without any long-term plan on how to fix things. No artist should ever have to see a maxscript error pop-up. Ever. - Lots of artists with outdated skillsets, and unqualified people who come from other departments (often QA) simply to fill seats.

      Great original idea and spirit for a company that has since lost its way...

      Pros

      Committed to quality and value of the player experience. Over the past decade plus since Rockstar has been putting out games, they have mostly been synonymous with ultra high quality experiences. This still holds true for their flagship games. Legacy of the original culture that built the company is still quality at all costs. It's the 'at all costs' that limits the value of cultural aims for the company.

      Cons

      Poor process for replicating success on a consistent basis, which leads to a hurky jerky production process that is capable of only overly focusing on 1 title at a time, which leads to schedule and cost overruns on other projects in the portfolio. Initial efforts to centralize and leverage talent across all studios/games was a good idea, but as key middle and upper level people left the company, the ability to share focus diminished. New managers tend to be little more than mouth pieces.
