Business outlook
Pros
Pay was good, great benefits, they assembled a number of really great teams that had a ton of passion. Received a sign on bonus and severance.
Cons
From the director level up, management was confused on direction and was terrible at prioritizing. One example is having my bonus tied to the number of people that could be hired in a year at a company level despite being an engineer. Games that showed no promise were scaled up at the wrong time and those that did show promise were abandoned. They laid off almost everyone in Bellevue and then opened roles in Texas too which is a super classy move.
