Used to be a great place to work

Pros

Leadership of Game Development, Enterprise Chief Tech Officer, and select others are top notch. Chicago campus is awesome.

Cons

The leadership from Bally doesn't seem interested in Chicago talent. The finance organization is run by accountants who don't have a real pulse check of the business (especially CFO). New leadership seem to force what they did before the M&A versus willingness to determine best practice/process for the NEW company.
