Pros

Every project has a meaningful purpose and well funded and supported by the board. PR department is very experienced and skilled. You don't have to worry about your work being wasted, just focus on what you are doing and let the company think about the other stuff.

Cons

The salary package is not that attractive.

All the pros and cons of working for a big company

Pros

All the perks of working for a large corporation (matching 401k, health plan, enrichment classes, snacks, well-organized company events). Dog-friendly. While no one works remotely, they do support VPN and smartphone profiles to access work emails through your native email app. Sounds trivial, but it takes away a lot of friction. Situated next to a wetland restoration area with trails for running. Reverse commute from SF (north bay has the only true "reverse-commute" left in the bay area) is really nice.

Cons

Individual studios within 2K are treated like separate companies, no sharing of ideas or resources. Every team is reinventing the wheel. While individual studios have a more "small team" feel, we still encounter the red tape of being in a big company. No self-evaluations during annual reviews. You don't always get asked to review your manager. During company holidays, hourly employees don't get any PTO (not even pro-rated) if they worked an average of less than 30 hours a week. There is one cafe in the building complex that has some bizarre monopoly, preventing other businesses (even food trucks) from selling directly to customers. To get around this, 2K has its own "menu" of 5 meals that it orders from 2 places a day and then sells the meals back to us. And once in a while it pays food trucks a lump sum to distribute meals for free.
