Good place to work, aging business practices, in own way
Pros
- Great brand that carries weight in the industry - Exposure to all facets of the gaming industry - Its a collaborative environment within major departments
Cons
- Business practices generally always trail leaders in the industry (and even more that of progressive market leaders in SF, London, Tokyo). HR, Business, Marketing, Finance, Legal all feel challenged by the weight of the organization and inability to respond to the changing employment & consumer markets it is operating in. - It is not a sophisticated operation which people tend to expect. Much is taped together, done last minute, and reactive - Compensation is behind the curve - Talks about compensating based on performance, fairly subjective processes by the end of the year resulting in unfair distributions (and then a lack of transparency( - A lot of politicking, feet dragging, and winning by inaction across departments
