Pros

The people who work here truly care about the work they do and want to make incredible toys and games.

Cons

Leadership does not care about employees and is deeply out of touch. Outlook is bleak on success of the company looking at the things leadership has decided to prioritize. CEO couldn't care less about the people who work for him or over half the products they make - and the disdain is felt. They way his team and all those under him have learned to automatically adjust and work around his appalling lack of people skills and disinterest in products is disheartening. Culture has withered away to nothing where it once was a thriving company that cared about its employees and giving back. Head count has been reduced to bare bones and work load increased, all while frequently waxing poetic about all the new college students we will hire when hiring freezes, lack of promotions, and layoffs have been the norm for years. The move to Boston is not supported by the vast majority of employees - many of whom have moved to Rhode Island and made a life. HQ plans are launched without answers to key questions, input from employees, or empathy for the massive cost of living and life change thrust upon 700+ employees. Design and engineering work is actively being moved overseas. Looming threats of slices of the business being prepared to sell off are common. But at least we get free coffee.

Pros

The compensation and benefits package appeared competitive compared to similar roles in the industry. The team members I met during the interview process were generally personable, professional, and knowledgeable about their work. The company also presents itself as collaborative and employee-focused during recruitment.

Cons

The hiring and onboarding process lacked organization, consistency, and internal alignment. Communication between Talent Acquisition, hiring management, and leadership appeared disconnected, resulting in conflicting information regarding fundamental terms of employment. After progressing through multiple interview rounds and receiving both verbal and written offers, critical details surrounding the position’s reporting expectations and work location changed unexpectedly immediately prior to the anticipated start date. The situation was handled poorly, with inconsistent messaging from different parties and limited accountability for the confusion. Attempts to professionally discuss potential solutions and compromises were met with resistance and ultimately resulted in the offer being rescinded. The overall experience reflected a lack of coordination between departments and created significant concern regarding internal communication, leadership alignment, and employee onboarding practices. For a large, established company, the process felt surprisingly unstructured and reactive.
