Pros

Decent pay for remote engineer

Cons

Asked what kind of laptop and OS I wanted, then sent a crappy Dell laptop with Windows. Boss always knows "exactly how to implement this". Talked to boss about how tedious it was to work with the code base, his response was "You'll get used to it". They had their own transpiler, so I recommended a way to avoid doing what they were doing (I can't divulge the details unfortunately) and his response was "What we have is explicit. We like explicit, and we're not changing it"

Pros

Working with great people, and working with the latest technology and pushing the limits of the industry. In engineering you actually get proper tools including properly specced computers to get your work done properly! Not to mention if you have an issue, the technology team is there to actually help you and work with you. The CEO & executive team understand the business very well and are great leaders. They are not afraid to stick up for social issues when it matters, or make big bets when necessary.

Cons

The video game business requires crunch and for you to work hard. However it has gotten a lot better over the years. Avoid the HR department at all costs! The department is the achilles heel of the company and needs an overhaul as they single handley driven multiple people to leave the team (including me!) for various reasons. This includes gaslighting, poor talent management, and even working against company interests like causing great candidates to reject offers due to bad process and communication.

Pros

Great culture if you are a Bro or millennial and have a passion for gaming.

Cons

This company is very politically driven. The IT department runs the entire company and Human Resources sides with the business every single time. If you are looking for a work-life balance, I wish you good luck. They will work you down to the bone and then gaslight you and tell you their expectations are reasonable and that the problem is with you and your performance. You will be much better off applying for a job with one of their labels.
