2K reviews

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.

- There are definitely cliques, which makes the work experience feel like high school at times. - Many incompetent people who don't know what they're doing (or do nothing at all) still somehow manage to retain their jobs. - It's VERY political and if you're not in the inner circle, your career and salary will stagnate.
