Vantaggi
Pay is better than games industry standard. Central location downtown is vibrant and accessible via transit. The buildings and facilities are generally pretty nice.
Svantaggi
Not a creative place to work. I’ve seen senior leadership drive multiple promising projects into the ground. Recent layoffs of full-time art staff and new focus on outsourcing art shows that the organization does not care to develop artists, or create artistically interesting projects. The content tools are infuriating. Features we depend on are broken and deprecated before adequate replacements are developed. Tools QA and UI is not good. However, recently the tools team has become more responsive. There was a lot of potential here when I started. I was excited about my job and the possibilities of what we could do. Over the last few years, I haven’t seen much positive come out of this org, and good people are leaving.
