Pros

- Splendid working environ. Office is welcoming and the perfect place to better know your colleagues. - Great team, with passion, supportive attitute, and great skill set - Good benefit package - Possibilities to work on great projects, and get in touch with other EA teams all over the world.

Cons

- Frostbite Engine is really powerful but hard to approach. ti will take some time before getting a grasp of it, but eventually it becomes a really great tool. - They still want their team to follow the hybrid working model. Since the vast majority of their team mates participating to the same project work from different companies, in different time zones, this is only a complication, and an aggravating cost for the average employee; It would be better to be allowed working fully remotely.

Pros

- Some really good colleague and friend - Splendind office location - Many colleagues passionate about work, art, and always pushing boundaries to achieve the greatest results - I love having a private bar where we can hold our meetings and enjoy a meal together - AI is still seen as an opportunity to speed up the workflow, not a way to replace human beings.

Cons

- Organizational dynamics have become increasingly politicised and toxic, with inter-departmental power structures impacting cross-functional collaboration. - The current workload and expectations present challenges in maintaining a sustainable work-life balance. - The Return to Office policy has not improved employee wellbeing or work-life balance, nor it improved productivity, based on consistent peer feedback. - Recent redundancies appeared misaligned with performance data, resulting in the loss of high-value colleagues, while cost inefficiencies in project delivery remained unaddressed. - The ratio of Managers and Art Directors to those effectively fulfilling their roles leaves room for improvement.
