Pros

Full remote working is possible. Your direct colleagues are nice.

Cons

- Upper management has absolutely no clue of what is happening inside of projects and will happily sell plans to customers without actually checking them with the project teams. - If you ever get sick for a longer period of time, you will be ignored, ridiculed and pressured to come back to work before you are actually better. - Complete lack of transparency on every level. - Agile is a joke within Abstraction and upper management works very hard to go against every agile principle there is. - The pay is god awful for the gigantic profits they are running.

Pros

-The internships are paid. - Provides option for working remote - IT & HR are super friendly.

Cons

The studio has a pretty odd culture that I found honestly kind of toxic. The art department felt childish at times, and I even heard about how they made another art lead leave the company. Interns often got misled about what they’d actually be working on, then ended up on random projects nobody really wants to do. Some interns were left completely alone on projects with no guidance, which made it feel like the studio wanted interns but didn’t really know how to support them. The coaching setup didn’t feel helpful either. Coaches didn’t really have seniority or authority, sometimes said hurtful things out of nowhere, and it felt like coaching was more about boosting their own salaries than helping interns. Overall, there were definitely times when it didn’t feel like artists on the team were treated with respect.
