Pros

Exciting projects, lots of game related gifts, events, and perks, autonomy and self-management encouraged.

Cons

Fear-based and paranoid culture inhibits the ability to work with the proper information and teams. Goals and prioritization are non-existent or very loose, leading to widespread burnout. Career paths are not documented, professional development or advancement is not promoted. Conflict avoiding, risk-averse culture has cemented many managers into decades long comfort roles, where backlogs extend back years because accountability is viewed as conflict.

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
