Conseils à la direction

I think the endgame is to hire enough so folks have more time to try new things. Keep working toward that.

Avantages

Great benefits, great food, good management, ability to climb the corporate ladder.

Inconvénients

Everything was ship-shape and good.

Conseils à la direction

Keep doing well.

Avantages

It's an experienced games studio run by adults but with new generation talent, best of both worlds. Very player and industry focused. The effort to make other game studios successful and give players better options sometimes hurts our own business, but makes one feel like a part of something bigger. Leadership is honest and hard working, no free riders in management. CEO is a visionary. Strategy is awesome. Budget...

Inconvénients

Extremely messy. Unless you have bullet proof task and project management skills you will get caught up in chaos and struggle to get things done, but rather put out fires most of the time. Due to explosive growth, there has been an influx of raw talent that is untapped and even misled into feeling resources are unlimited, entitlement is high and results expectations are low. This can be frustrating and can become...

Help middle management cope by dividing up work in a clearer way. Up the bar for recruiting, have HR and games design craft involved, at least as sponsors. Don't overreact to reddit, it's just a few vocal players that sometimes are right, often not.

Avantages

Some benefits are great, others are just there for show. 100% paid health insurance Big name and big player in the video game company There are some really cool people here The employee events are fun. They have a really amazing summer family picnic. They pull out all the stops and really go above and beyond to make it an enjoyable experience. You get a mandatory week off for Christmas and two weeks off in the summer...

Inconvénients

They are reactionary. Nothing is planned in advance. Projects and work happen last minute and things are changed 100% of the time at the last minute. Everyone is overworked and expected to be on call. Ask what the culture is, it roughly translates to "workaholic". People are scared to take vacation. So now they mandate 3 weeks a year where the company closes down and most people are off. But this just made it harder...

Conseils à la direction

Be honest and open about the work environment.

close fortnite it killed someone

Avantages

Get free pizza & icecream every two other week, full stocked kitchen, lots of goings for movies, nice parties, free costco membership

Inconvénients

Coworkers, leads and management are absolutely the worse. In my 10+ years of industry experience I've never seen people actually telling to other people if "person x" joins their team they will quit. There's a lot of hate between people, and there's issues in embracing new people onto the teams. Also the mentality that just because you work at epic you are better than everyone else is something horrible to be proud of....

Conseils à la direction

Listen to people when they give feedback on your games, fix the infights inside the company and struggles for power.

Avantages

Good pay, time off, benefits, bonus, profit sharing

Inconvénients

Odd hours, travel on a moments notice

Avantages

The company as a whole takes care of you, good benefits, they are doing amazing things with the engine and game.

Inconvénients

Favoritism is definitely a thing here. Anything you say that management doesn't like could get you let go instantly. Very reactionary to gaming news and events, doesn't plan in advance, always crunching.

Conseils à la direction

Some management could use classes on how to actually manage a team
