Pros

I wouldn't trust the negative reviews that I have read here as they are most likely from disgruntled ex employees who weren't performing, horrible for culture or caused a lot of issues. My time at Playside saw none of the issues described, especially the 'bro culture'. The culture at Playside is one of the best I have seen at any company and the HR do an incredible job of making sure everyone is included and happy, planning events, special surprises in office etc. Office space is really awesome and its so cool to see the art work of the projects you worked on displayed on the walls. Management wants to help grow and develop staff and often check in to see how they can achieve this. The engineering department has redone its structure recently to help with growth. Can say its one of the best Studios I have been able to work for and hope to return to Playside in the near future.

Cons

Nothing I can think of.

Pros

You will find talented people working there. Overtime was paid for if you could twist the arm of a producer.

Cons

Very varied depending on which project you were assigned. No boundaries with out of office time. Heavy bro culture. High crunch. Higher management was prone to swooping in randomly on projects.

Pros

These guys value culture above all else, I worked remote but have never felt so included. Transparent career trajectory plans and lots of assistance for achieving those goals if thats what you're after. Lots of community meetings and support for growth as a developer.

Cons

Its a gamedev salary so you're probably getting less than web dev etc.
