Pros

Working on great video games and getting experience on a wide variety of consoles and bug DBs. The atmosphere in the office (UK) is friendly and usually relaxed (there are stressful times here too during peak periods!). Leads and managers are competent and approachable, and they will actually listen to you if your are bringing up good ideas. There are training opportunities and fair chances to advance due to merit rather than favoritism. Annual bonus and pay rise, nice benefits, HR actually know what they are doing.

Cons

Pay is low but in range for this industry. There is the chance of getting stuck on working on the same video game for years in a row if you are assigned to the team who work on the franchise (yet, you might like that if you are a fan).

Pros

Congratulations on joining an IT department sustained primarily by optimism and certificates whose expiration dates invite reflection. Tickets enter a triage process best described as ceremonial — acknowledged warmly, processed philosophically, resolved at the discretion of the universe. Infrastructure decisions suggest a confident autodidactic energy that formal training might have tempered. Your recommendations will be received, appreciated verbally, and composted with dignity. The company charges a premium for its products and charges again for the remainder of them, which is either visionary pricing strategy or a personality trait depending on your tolerance. The gaming chairs are ambitious. The retention numbers are instructive

Cons

• Your labor props up a machine that monetizes joy incrementally until joy is gone • Every unresolved ticket is a monument to institutional indifference • Heidegger called it thrownness — you were thrown here specifically • The infrastructure will outlive your dignity but not your burnout • Mark Fisher already described this place in Capitalist Realism and did not recommend it • You will achieve nothing that compounds • The servers go down. You stay down longer.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
