Pros

There are a lot of things to like about PM. The pay and benefits were good, and the quality of the folks hired there was typically very high, so you got to work with people at the top of their game.

Cons

Executive leadership for a long time had almost no oversight of projects that drifted aimlessly for years. Then as the company started to run out of money, they snapped WAY to the other end of the spectrum and started hounding dev teams with monthly reviews where everyone's job was at stake, every time. Everyone wondering if their team was the next to get chopped. Not a great environment.

Lots of change in the company direction but that the entire industry.

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.
