Pros

Okay reputation in esports Peers work hard Met very great people but they all left the company very soon

Cons

-High turnover rate, no respect for people who helped their brand. Only cares about a select few veteran workers. -Staff is really disorganized and it takes weeks to get responses. -They often forget about the players/content creators and there is a lot of favoritism, and unequal opportunities yet they won't help out new hires -They don't care about anyone's mental health or providing any resources for players. -Seemed like just collecting a paycheck -No security, you can just be laid off out of nowhere -Shoddy crypto sponsors that you are forced to be associated with -Company is filled with unsuitable hires and embarrassing handling of their social media -They only care about how much money you make them, but no good demonstration of integrity, values or even doing well in esports -Very weird staff members

Pros

Great benefits and flexibility. Coworkers are also very friendly. Lots of travel opportunities for gaming events.

Cons

Esports is just not what it was 5-6 years ago. If you love video games it will be fun, but pay is low and layoffs have taken the best people. VERY very top-down management, you will be micromanaged and won't have much say in any project decisions. Some projects are contingent on winning, so many do not see the light of day. Not much demand of the product so work has scaled down.
