Business Outlook

Pros

Great work-life balance, talented colleagues, interesting projects.

Cons

Limited career growth options. You tend to get pigeon-holed into a game title and keep doing the same things year over year. Management unable to help much, too much left to whims of the game studios. If the studio wants you to be the dedicated analyst on one title, you are stuck there and don't have the opportunities to push out of your comfort zone and achieve impact with your work. Then they refuse to promote you claiming that you didn't achieve enough impact.

Pros

Contractors make up a significant amount of engineering staff, the vendors selected are amazing to work with u like engineering leadership.

Cons

Access to end users &/or game studios was non existent even though my role required it, strategic vision didn’t exist $ & the engineering to product relationships were toxic & not collaborative. Pay is way below average for sr and technical product management in the industry.
