Pros

The People - There are some of the most talented artists and engineers in the industry at this studio. If you want to work with the best in the industry then Retro's the place to be. The People Again - This is a studio where you quickly become a member of the family. This studio is filled with people who care deeply about what they do and each other. The Benefits and Perks - Retro, and Nintendo as a whole, provide fantastic benefits (free Medical/Dental/Vision), a generous 401k, Bonuses and perks (discounts on all things Nintendo, great company events). The IP - We make legendary experiences. The studio has worked on everything from Metroid Prime to Donkey Kong. Dedication to Quality - The commitment to quality isn't a marketing slogan at this studio. Retro's games don't ship until they're not ready. The average Metacritic score for all of Retro's titles is over 90%. Our Japanese Partners - You get to work with some of the industries greatest producers, designers, audio engineers, etc. If you get to work here you will be star struck on occasion.

Pros

Fun engaging work, great team, everyone was always so helpful and pushed your work to the highest quality it could be.

Cons

Any "cons" were always taken into account moving forward and adjustments/improvements were made. Don't have much bad things to say honestly.
