Pros
For top-tier IT talent, this is a fantastic and highly rewarding place to work. There is strong, executive IT leadership that values emotional intelligence and people, a rarity for an IT org in today's business world. In less than two years, the incumbent CIO has built a solid leadership team and transformed the IT organization from a cost center to a strategic business partner. Under this leadership I have personally experienced tremendous growth and opportunity, while being able to apply the best of my abilities to some of the most challenging, yet rewarding technical environments. I genuinely am excited to come to work on a daily basis. The company is heavily investing in its people to drive best-in-class technology. Thought leadership and great ideas are welcomed from any position, not just management. Work life balance is flexible and growth opportunities are available for ambitious individuals. The NYC office located on Houston and Broadway in the heart of Soho is a great location to work, with easy access to transportation, restaurants, bars, and more.
Cons
Crunch cycles are inherent to the game development cycle. While this can be perceived as a con, some of the most challenging technical problems are solved during this period.
