Pros

Talented coworkers. Ability to open source some of your work.

Cons

The management and production structure is rapidly driving away talent. There is no framework for role growth or promotions. The only way to get promoted is to leave the company. Salary raises do not meet inflation, and bonuses are nonexistent. Managers have no interest in being managers, and many do not have any 1:1s or professional development conversations with their reports. Employees are pushed to the fringes if they "don't fit in" by voicing opinions management doesn't like. They will make it clear you aren't welcome by offering minisule salary increases and assigning mundane tasks until you leave. If you don't gel with the cliquey EA/DICE leadership group, you will not feel comfortable here. Production process is very messy, direction changes rapidly and often.

Pros

Most employees are extremely welcoming and kind, Facilities and office are very generous and in a lovely area of Stockholm, Good levels of trust and belief overall

Cons

Convoluted layout of the floorplan in the office due to the nature of the old building Slight lack in maturity around organisation and decision making processes by design, which impacts some people significantly more than others
