Pros
+ Great company culture - employees help each other instead of competing for attention. Everyone works towards the project goals.
+ Leadership knows what they are doing and actively listen to staff.
+ Unified vision of projects with openness to critique, in most cases.
+ Great location, Cary is a wonderful town that fits the unique culture of Red Storm well.
+ Very inclusive and friendly
Cons
- Design team sometimes has difficulty listening to criticism of their work. They will hear it attentively and then choose not to implement changes, even if they are hearing it from multiple sources. Not always but happened a few times at least.
- Salary is a bit underwhelming for both the role and area
- Being under Ubisoft's umbrella has perks, but it also comes with significant downsides. They fall victim to the shortsightedness of Ubisoft shareholders and are underutilized as a studio of extremely talented individuals. Nearly all of the criticisms of Red Storm could be boiled down to Ubisoft mismanagement, and not problems with the studio itself.
