Pros

Met a lot of amazing people here and it's a great opportunity to work on some of the biggest/most ambitious projects in the industry. The events organised by the company were always brilliant.

Cons

Working nights made it incredibly hard to live life outside of work and I don't believe Rockstar made enough of an effort to encourage a healthy lifestyle. I know a lot of people who struggled mentally with the hours and the resources weren't there for us to seek help.
