Pros

- Sustainable work/life balance - Many highly skilled colleagues to with, bounce ideas off of, etc. - Being part of a successful game studio - Excellent benefits, e.g., paternity leave - Opportunities for cultural enrichment, working in a global company - Experienced leadership that has shipped many game titles - Clear articulation of the studio's priorities - Located close to major rail lines, easy commute

Cons

- Communication and responsibility gaps result from rapid growth - "NIH" syndrome occasionally present, due to growth, overlapping acquisitions of engineering talent - Like all game studios, opportunities for upward mobility can be somewhat limited, which may cause people to leave in order to advance their careers

Pros

I'm definitely biased in my opinion, considering the position I'm in, but I've never been happier at a game studio than I am today at Wargaming Chicago-Baltimore. Why? Well: - Flexible hours with a strong emphasis on work-life balance - most people work very reasonable hours most of the time, and we purposely schedule in such a way as to avoid crunch. It only ever happens if something's gone really wrong (for example, a bunch of key people all out sick at the same time). But it's never assumed or scheduled. Plus, a lot of positions (not all) have some ability to work from home when someone needs to wait for a delivery or stay home with a sick kid, and our hours are fairly flexible. - Benefits and Perks - best-of-class maternity and paternity leave, great PTO and holidays calendar, 401K matching, medical/dental/vision/life/etc, all top notch. - Friendly people, always ready to give advice or just chat - Casual workplace - it's a game company, of course we're in shorts and t-shirts :) - Light on bureaucracy - we purposely try to stay very light on paperwork, avoid lots of email spam about stuff nobody cares about, keep things digital (paperless), and try to limit 'meeting hell' compared to anywhere else I've worked. Successful - the most important, we've been successful for years, have our sights set on an even bigger future for the studio and the company, and we try hard to make sure that success translates into continually improving our employee's experience and growth here at Wargaming. - Cutting-edge business model - all of our larger projects are free-to-play and free-to-win, which allows for the greatest possible number of players and a great experience for multiplayer (lots of potential opponents and clanmates, lots of chances to make new friends, good matchmaking, etc.). - Tools to succeed - we have modern facilities, modern equipment, great BI / analytics, and our teams don't lack for anything they need to get the job done.

Cons

Our company is a global company, and like most larger companies, that means that decisions sometimes have to go to someone far away. These things take time and are not as simple as a "water cooler chat" like in a 1-office studio. On the flip side, some of our folks enjoy getting to travel to new and interesting places :)

Pros

Wargaming is the kind of place that has both dedicated and hard working people with those same people being supportive and collaborative. Your ideas are very rarely (if ever) ignored and you are given the power to further your career path here if you choose to do so. It is an environment that is both fun and rewarding to work in which can be rare to find.

Cons

Never seems to be enough La Croix. However this may be a personal problem.
