Quality Studio Makes Same Mistakes

Pros

There are a lot of amazing people to work with at Crystal Dynamics. The projects and content are usually interesting and engaging. Full time employees have access to really great health benefits and a gym.

Cons

The schedule and amount of hours needed to meet goals and deadlines were overwhelming at times. There simply aren't enough developers to get the actual work done and to quality. Mistakes were repeated over and over again just on different projects, i.e. long hours, lack of vision on overall project, kind of just figuring things out as we go. There was also some very poor upper management with people working out of fear of their jobs. This caused some turnover for certain at this studio.
