Dysfunctional leadership

Pros

Great vision and strategy - if they can pull it off with a divisive CEO and 0 collaboration across the companies in the group Mostly great people - nice friendly, smart, trying to do the right thing around the dysfunctionality They make some amazing games!

Cons

The Santa Monica office is a dump Be prepared to be overworked if you work in finance or any of the support teams - attrition is really high as people burn out and realize there are much better prospects out there The leadership team is political in the extreme - all competing to save their own skins and avoid getting cut by a genuinely dysfunctional CEO. The smart ones get out e.g. CFO

Pros

salary and that is literally it these days, once upon a time there was a lot of positive things going on there but things have changed drastically in the last 3 years and not for the better, unfortunately.

Cons

Bullying and lying is riff among the senior management and much of the skilled workforce have left in the last few years as a result. Appalling work-life balance. Fear culture.
