Layoff, Dog eat Dog and Studio Alliance Culture - Software Engineer IV IGT Employee Review

Like a dark comedy of Dilbert. After a few years of working here, you're likely to start noticing the dog eat dog culture among the game studios, people always arguing how their way is the better way instead of coming to a consensus. Upper management can't seem to make up their minds and would rather spend millions moving entire departments in order to accommodate "their" personal feng shui, when in all practicality, everything is just fine where it's already at. Layoffs seem to occur at least once a year (usually in June or December). Lastly, if your not in the studio "alliance", then you're not "in".
