Pros

- You get to work with a great team who really supports each other and loves the game they are working on. - I've had the best manager and the best team that's easy to work with and works very hard.

Cons

- New management flipped the whole culture we've had for many years already. Lost a lot of trust in the new management by forcing people to go back to office and a specific office they may or may not have been hired at... does not matter even if its a whole new state. You go back to the office or get canned. New management says it is not a soft layoff but there will be no relocation assistance, commute/gas help or safety net from layoffs for the upcoming RTO. - Very difficult to get promoted in this company despite tasks blurring to a higher position. And the CEO change and multiple change halted promotions AGAIN. "Limited promotions." - Layoffs often. Management aren't transparent about what's happening in the company. New CEO change came out of left field.

Pros

Great coworkers, decent benefits. The company culture (before recent changes) has helped me recover from burnout. My manager is the best and single handedly revived my faith in the industry.

Cons

The new CEO immediately announced a hard RTO policy for all employees, with very little exceptions. This announcement and implementation has derailed all trust and confidence in the company. Most teams are very remote-based, with some of our best employees located in areas with no local office. Even if everyone reported to their closest hubs, we’d all be in calls with team members in other regions- now with less privacy and more security risk for our licensed IPs. Corporate language used for upcoming expectations feels like thinly veiled guarantees of forced attrition. Productivity has plummeted. Many people have to choose between losing their jobs in this current market, or risk relocating and being let go anyways. Everyone has to trust the company will somehow gather enough office space and equipment for everyone to work locally. HR is giving “key talent” more room for accommodations, creating even more fear for everyone who doesn’t fall into the “key talent” pools. It feels like the failures of executive leadership are falling onto the workers as punishment. Whatever semblance of positive company culture from executive leadership is now missing entirely. We are about to lose our best people over this horrendous decision.
