      Pros

      You'll get to meet some cool people and suffer together under some of the worse management you'll ever see.

      Cons

      * Horrible pay * Toxic blame culture with senior management who love yelling and slamming at desks * Terrible old tooling due to stingy management not willing to spend to modernise their hardware and software infrastructure I still get PTSD flashbacks from this hell years after departure. Worst company I've ever worked for.

      Pros

      Great colleagues and friendly and approachable QA Leads. An excellent starting point for the Videogame Industry,

      Cons

      The crunch is real. Be prepared for some serious and unavoidable overtime. The payment is definitely the worst thing. For the Company you are just a number.

      Great company at the start of your career, but a boys club at the top

      Pros

      Fast paced, exciting. Good company perks such as events (pre-covid), swag, free games etc. At entry - mid level, there are good development opportunities including being able to move departments/take on projects outside your normal remit to get exposure and experience in areas that interest you.

      Cons

      Once you get to middle management, the boys club is very apparent. Generally only people from certain backgrounds can secure senior roles. The employee networks are unfortunately lip service to please shareholders - they put all the emphasis on employees (with full time jobs) to drive change rather than enacting it from the top down. While there are a few women in senior positions they are the exception rather than the rule.
