Once great

Pros

Crystal once had great people and a collaborative environment that welcomed input from employees at all levels. It was a great place to do creative work and advance according to your initiative and hard work. Pay was good enough.

Cons

Lots of crunch time. No strategy beyond Tomb Raider. With as many good people as have left recently, I am not positive about the direction it's headed.

No lack of talent here

Pros

Some of the most talented and creative people you'll ever work with. Very collaborative environment. Amazing proprietary tools and tech-- some of the best in the industry.

Cons

Poor management at times leads to relentless unpaid crunch. Bonuses are just okay. Some executive-level people have managed to cling to their jobs despite some major screw-ups.
