Pros

- The people on the game production teams were great. Talented, fun, kind, and open. - Good work-life balance. - Salary was above the industry average.

Cons

- Horrible management from the central team (executives and HR). - Laughable stock options - Micromanagement and mismanagement of QA team from a CEO whose last experience in that field was 2 decades ago. - Lack of accountability and consequences for leadership who made the decisions that drove the company into the ground. - Extremely questionable expansion for more incubation projects even though the company hadn't shipped a single game yet. - Out-of-touch executives who don't live near either of the two offices in Washington or Texas. (A new CFO was hired recently who had lived near the Texas office, but started moving to a beach city in California afterward.)

Pros

Pay was good, great benefits, they assembled a number of really great teams that had a ton of passion. Received a sign on bonus and severance.

Cons

From the director level up, management was confused on direction and was terrible at prioritizing. One example is having my bonus tied to the number of people that could be hired in a year at a company level despite being an engineer. Games that showed no promise were scaled up at the wrong time and those that did show promise were abandoned. They laid off almost everyone in Bellevue and then opened roles in Texas too which is a super classy move.
