Pros

In general a fun and chill work environment. When you quit, it will be the people you miss the most. Your coworkers are great people. The only reason why I'm giving 2 stars and not 1 star. Work/life balance was good for me, but this is dependent on what team you're on.

Cons

You don't quit your job, you quit your manager... and your upper management/HR, but especially your manager. Main reason to quit as I could have lived with the other cons. The whole office doesn't trust the incompetent HR team especially when you hear what's happened to various people leading them to quit. You got some creeps in the office. Nepotism is rampant in this office in various teams. People who should have been fired or never even hired in the first place are kept on and usually promoted because they are friends with people from above. Boy's club is very much apparent on a lot of teams and upper management. Maybe when teams have high turnover you should look at the top of the departments who have been there for 10+ years and done nothing to change it. Salary, benefits/perks are very average. Barely a step above public sector companies, definitely way below what your average Bay Area tech company offers. WFH is only allowed dependent on your manager.

Pros

Front-line workers are mostly good people. Company name & projects add clout to your resume.

Cons

Huge disconnect between upper management and frontline staff. Below market pay scale. Severe nepotism. Untrustworthy Senior management.

Pros

Flexible hours, good benefits, out of office trips and events paid for by the studio. HR help whenever they can, they're approachable and easy to talk to. Good studio location near the metro (we've recently moved). Good job security which comes with working for a big company.

Cons

Most of the people at the top making the big decisions are only really good at regurgitating marketing spiel and have no applicable or useful development knowledge. There are A LOT of giant egos in this studio. The salary is bad. Seems the only way to get promoted without waiting an age is to leave, come back then ask for more. There's no real reward for people who have stayed.
