Vantaggi

Svantaggi
* Development processes are overly focused on the short term. * Little effort is made to prevent recurring issues with the games, development workflows, or project management. * Innovative products nearly always evolve into slight variations of their older games, or are cancelled entirely. * Peer bonus system for "above and beyond" seems set up to reward unpaid overtime more than anything. "Above and beyond" varies wildly by department. * High turnover means frequent desk shuffles and exacerbates project management issues. * Quality of the live product is hampered by short release cycles and last-minute changes. * Few opportunities for advancement. * Open office plan is an obstacle when you need to focus, and working from home is actively discouraged.
