Pros

In my experience, the people I worked with were all smart and caring people. We had a good thing going for a long time.

Cons

Upper management makes mistake after mistake and never share in the responsibility. Sold our soul to Sony and now things are deteriorating exactly as anyone with a brain could have predicted: big layoffs, integration with Sony, siphoned employees, all under the promise that we would retain our autonomy.

Pros

The people are what made working at Bungie amazing, a lot of very smart & talented people.

Cons

A massive talent drain over the past three rounds of layoffs. Lots of fumbled bets by past leadership that lasted long after they left. The benefits used to be stellar but got reduced year over year after Sony acquisition due to 'belt tightening' & aligning to Sonys benefits. Future is very questionable for the studio.
