Pros

Benefits are absolutely top notch. Incredible parental and family benefits, real unlimited PTO, and competitive pay. Subteam culture varies, but I am very happy with my current team. People really care about you and your experience as a member of the community.

Cons

Teams are constantly being shuffled, reshuffled, renamed, eliminated. No lay offs when this happens, but it’s jarring. I’ve been on 3 teams in 3 years, two of which don’t exist anymore. They are very process averse, to a fault. The onboarding experience leaves a lot to be desired, and has been trial by fire for most of my peers (and myself). There seems to be a bit more internal politics than I’m used to and you have to constantly be aware of leadership’s personalities and whims to succeed. They pride themselves on inclusivity, and in day-to-day interactions everyone is treated with respect, but there are only 2 or 3 women in leadership across the company. It feels performative to say we’re inclusive but have white men make up 90% of leadership.

Pros

Great people and culture. Loved the early years of community and growth we achieved. Learned a lot and made a bunch of great friends within the community and staff. Had amazing benefits. I'm going to miss all the people I worked with, but I do not regret working here. All good things must come to an end, as they say.

Cons

Unfortunately, it grew too fast and could not keep up with the profit for the number of players and staff. A change in company direction caused dislike among the employees and players. Just wished that higher-ups would take into consideration more of the staff and community suggestions. I'm sure there could have been a solution to appeal to everyone while still making a profit. Recovery to bring back what the community wanted was too late.
