Pros
Good benefits Talented people across disciplines A real passion for making great games within game teams
Cons
Career progression is legitimately terrible. You can slave away get positive feedback and be stuck at the senior level forever in spite outperforming those a level above you for years (I've seen this happen to multiple people in multiple disciplines) Leadership favors hiring at the highest levels but doesnt manage to fill out our ranks with promising associate/mid levels. Half the people they hire dont end up performing It feels like every director just fills out principal roles like supreme court justices Vertical DEI kinda sucks. Teams aren't very diverse especially in design and engineering. Everyone is white or east asian and basically no women
