Disorganized to a fault, yet a great experience overall

Pros

Work on games that people fervently care about Relaxed, casual culture.

Cons

A lot of your time will be wasted because of poor communication and split second, last minute, often contrarian decision making. Sometimes the relaxed culture tightens to a vice grip around your neck making you wish there were better personal boundaries & more set rules.

Pros

Worked on amazing titles. Tons of freedom (as long as you were 'around' in the office'), good salary

Cons

extreme work hours, constant crunch mode, very little direction from upper management, in some departments there does not seem to be a plan on how to elevate employees into new/higher positions so its very easy to reach a ceiling. Not a good place to work if you want to start a family.

Pros

R* demands absolute perfection and they will get the most out of you. The place definitely helps you develop a thick skin and a stamina for brutal crunch weeks (or months or years) and deadlines.

Cons

There's a lot of negativity here. People get depressed, fat, sleep deprived, and generally worse for the wear. It can be frustrating to put so much into projects and have the feedback be uselessly abusive.
