Pros

The company gives monthly days off. You get free 2K games when they come out. The game industry is largely recession-proof.

Cons

Teams don't plan adequately, so requirements are often sparse and not well defined. The environment can be political with teams pointing the finger at other teams for not delivering on time. HR is kind of clueless about company deadlines as they make their own reviews due during crunch time. The hours can be brutal as well because of a lack of planning. It's hard to take time off without feeling guilty because of the constant onslaught of work.

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
