Vantaggi
- Great health benefits and vacation policies (hopefully it continues). - Great game engine technology.
Svantaggi
- Disorganized, inefficient, and in-experienced leadership. Game development process and standards are well behind AAA standard. - Career growth and talent management / deployment issues. Many leads, stakeholders, and legacy employees lack critical modern development experience and skills. Folks that are actually able to solve real, strategic issues are un-recognized. - Review process is extremely opaque, and unbalanced. Actual contributions, impact potential, and being marked as "critical" has meant nothing. I've observed many under and over value issues when it comes to promotions and rewards. Lots of legacy folks getting promoted despite not meeting the standards the rest of us are held to. All while folks doing real work remain in the background. - Making games seems secondary to driving technology.
