Vantaggi

Very stable company, chances to work on very interesting technology and contributing to some amazing games out there. Always learning and surrounded by very smart people (depending on the location). Human resources really value employee efforts and they recognize the value they bring to the company, making efforts to meet employees needs. Very good work/life balance and basically no crunching. Management takes good decisions for the company's future in a very unstable market that is hard to predict.

Svantaggi

Communication could be better but in a company that is so widespread over the world and with not that many people the problems are understandable. Lack of resources sometimes means that engineers have to undertake boring but mandatory tasks like QA. Sometimes it can be really, really hard to move from what you are doing in the company (because you're needed there) to what you'd really like to do in the company (reason why you accepted the job).

Vantaggi

Havok is a good place to get a broad exposure to the AAA video game industry since Havok is used by so many top video game studios. As part of the developer support team and/or the development team, you get a chance to work with the smartest engineers in the industry (both in and outside of Havok). The San Francisco office is one of many offices in Havok, so it's small, but as a result, you get to know everyone in the office which creates a family-like atmosphere. Also, since Havok doesn't actually make video games, they don't have the same crunch hours as actual video game studios, so the work/life balance is much better.

Svantaggi

Lots of turnover. Not that because Havok is a bad place to work at, but unless you move to Dublin, Ireland, your career trajectory is limited. And since it's in the San Francisco Bay Area, lots of people move on to other tech or game companies in the area just because there are so many tech jobs here.
