Pros

At this current time, there are no pros to working for this company. 6 years ago, my opinion may have been different but the only 'pro' is the free food.

Cons

The company has been run into the ground by managers who just don't know what they're doing. None of them have successfully run companies before, in fact the Studio Director has already run one or two games companies into dust prior. The workforce is being reduced from around 700 (originally) to 280 come June 2024 following a SECOND, massive round of redundancies. Guess who's not impacted at all - the senior 'leadership' team, one of whom is on north of 200k and is mates with the boss. They have no qualifications or experience in the industry and don't seem to be performing any job role. It's a boys club, they couldn't manage their way out of a paper bag - proven by the devastating layoffs 2023 and upcoming in 2024. They overpay meaning finding a job outside of there near on impossible. Avoid.

Pros

Great people, well organised, good onboarding.

Cons

They use some antiquated communication software (e.g. not using Slack or equivalent, instead relying on MS Teams for chat).
