Pros

The only pro I can think of is Free Breakfast, Lunch and snacks given by rockstar.

Cons

There is no learning curve here in rockstar. They just need people to finish GTA6 on time. None of the tools used by Rockstar can be used once you leave the company. You cannot even tell which tools you worked on because of NDA. Everything you learn there is garbage the moment you leave the company. The appraisal cycle and hikes are below average compared to other companies. Rockstar pays way below the average industry standards. The management is busy conducting parties and spending money on unnecessary team dinners and outings. Join if you only want to tell people yoy worked in Rockstar. Career wise joining rockstar will hurt you the long run.

Pros

-The main pros of working here are there are many talented folks who are passionate about what they do. -Free lunch and work events were always pretty fun - A once in a lifetime opportunity to work on the biggest games of all time.

Cons

Rockstar takes advantage of the passionate people they have working for them. They use the brand as an excuse to not treat their employees with any dignity or respect. It's also worth mentioning that microagressions and misogyny is a bigger problem than what's being reported here. There were many times where I felt like my voice wasn't heard because of it. Leadership is also a the source of a lot of friction. Many of them are out of touch and let people who have worked their for a long time get away with abusing their direct reports and other lower on the totum pole colleagues. There are people who work here that have been reportedly for unprofessional behavior multiple times but don't receive any serious pushback from leadership. It's a very cliquey, fear based environment masked behind a fake sense of a forward thinking company. There's a lot of information withheld from people who are directly impacted by it, which eventually caused me to mistrust the company and leadership. I have mixed feelings because I enjoyed working on the games and there are many talent people who are being held back by a company that refuses to think differently.
