Pros

Good opportunity to wear multiple hats but don't expect much mentorship or guidance.

Cons

No structure or mentorship. Stressful atmosphere most days.Yelling at employees in front of everyone and humiliating, talking behind back, backstabbing. Quite toxic atmosphere. Management seems to get a kick out of trying to humiliate people.

Thank you very much for your review and response. We certainly do not intend to promote a negative work environment and any managers not handling themselves in a professional manner will certainly not last long within our organization.

Pros

I worked out of the LA office for 2 1/2 years. -At GameScribes you get to work on a lot of really cool games — even games that aren't out yet (so that's kind of fun) — and work with your fellow gamers! -The team is tight-knit, but super welcoming and friendly. -It's a pretty relaxed working environment (good West Coast hours), but be prepared to work hard -Management is very approachable and transparent -Quiet office in a safe neighborhood between Santa Monica and Brentwood, some good food options around and lots of other conveniences (hospital, bank, CVS, etc.) -Pay is decent especially for industry first-timers or recent graduates. -You'll learn a lot every day!

Cons

-The commute is not for everyone (I drove between 40 mins-1 1/2 hours each way) -No onsite parking, but that's pretty typical for the Santa Monica area -You're not DEVELOPING games, so if that's what you're looking for, this is not for you
