Pros

Great people and co workers , good benefits and free stuff/merch

Cons

Managers pick on people , are surprisingly ableist, harass people to try and get them to quit and are just overall terrible leadership, low pay compared to industry standard. Management is super micromanagey and focuses on the littlest things like if you were a minute late to a meeting. Great company I would love to keep working for but I can not express more how bad the management is , they need to clean house

Joining 2K was the biggest mistake of my career

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the people in middle to upper management are trying their best to make do with the situation

Cons

Overall, working at this video game company is a nightmare. The upper management is incompetent and micro-managing, the work environment is toxic and demoralizing, and the creative work being produced is uninspired and lackluster. I would not recommend anyone to work for this company unless major changes are made at the VP leadership level and above. It's a sinking ship and it's only a matter of time before it goes under.
