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

Software Dev's take: great project management, work-life balance

Senior software engineer

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Well organized, properly staffed and supported software development environment. Full time project managers, QA teams, product owners, DevOps. You don't have to wear all of the hats which lets you focus on getting stuff done. Great benefits, compensation. Good track record of promoting from within. Game nights after work in the office (board and video). Charity events (24 gaming marathons).

Cons

True like 4 years ago, less so now: Timezone difference and language barriers with Minsk (where most of the engineering exists). It wasn't ever a show stopper, just slowed things down a little.
