Pros
Perks (free games, swag, culture of young nerdy employees), Benefits were good, events were very well done (pre- and mid-covid), great office environment (pre-covid) complete with gaming systems
Cons
Despite record profits, budgets for salaries and bonuses were still extremely tight. While it might be cool to say you work for a video game company, this company was the most "corporate" gaming company I've ever worked for--the red tape and bureaucracy and general attitude of "we've always done it this way" were prohibitive to accelerating and up-leveling the culture. Management's responses to huge national and world issues (e.g. BLM movement) was slow and performative at best. We live in a world now where that just isn't enough. Companies need to take a stand on issues that may not directly affect their business, but employees are demanding it--they want to know that their employer cares about issues that they care about. Career progression is tough unless someone leaves--movement between departments is rare.
