      No concern for support staff

      Pros

      Free food was pretty good

      Cons

      Worked as IT Support. Despite on boarding up to 200 people a week during my time, only 3 other hires were made for the support team. A total of 12 people. Management didn't care. No way to advance. I was explicitly told that there was no way to move to a different team and if I was unhappy to look elsewhere for a job. I did. Much happier now.

      Great people, conservative leadership

      Pros

      Great people, great benefits (food, gym, etc). Lots of responsibility but lots of freedom on the work itself. Heard lots of hate/horror stories about this place, but that depends dramatically on the team you're on. If possible, work on a new IP!

      Cons

      Some of the high level design decisions may seem a little myopic. May not be working on exactly the games you'd like to play yourself.

      Baffling place to work

      Senior artist

      Pros

      Great health benefits "Free" breakfast, lunch & dinner Cool building New leadership (Mattrick) seems to know what it's doing and has implemented a plan to re-focus the company on it's core strengths before branching out into new territory. Upper management structure was also streamlined, removing unnecessary layers, etc.

      Cons

      Pay for artists is on the low side Project level leadership is fickle at best. Project / design leaders frequently jump-ship to other projects that better suit their short term survival instincts, leaving the previous project in limbo until a new project/design leader steps in. The new leader invariably must leave his/her own stamp on the project so a re-design usually follows. Artists are constantly being shuffled from project to project. Dog policy encourages many employees to become new dog owners. Many un-socialized and un-trained dogs roam around the office, barking, whining, peeing and pooing. Combined with the open floor plan, the racket is on par with Grand Central or JFK during the holidays.
