Business outlook

Pros

- Amazing colleagues that made suffering through everything that happened in the last 2 years worthwhile - A works council that prevented being screwed over by management

Cons

- Intransparent hierachies - Feeling of worthlessness - Multiple attempts to buy time and hope employees leave before paying out compensation - A "new" CEO that misunderstands 8 out of 10 questions and refuses to bring in translators - Higher-level managers that spread different "truths" in every studio

Very talented people doing great things in spite of management

Pros

On the development level, some of the best people I've ever worked with anywhere. It's hard to describe the passion, intelligence, and talent of the people I worked with here at Bigpoint San Francisco. Work/life balance is actually quite important here. I've built a lot of fond memories at Bigpoint.

Cons

Very hard to convince European managers how Americans view gaming differently (especially in the F2P space). Upper management are not from the games industry and have very different views on how the games should be built. Benefits are sparse and frankly not competitive to other similar studios in the region (leading to a constant churn issue where top talent is consistently sniped by other studios both in the Bay and across the country).
