Pros

- Comp time for OT - People are great, work culture is respectful - Inter-project mobility. I never hear of people being let go at the end of a project

Cons

- Bonuses are basically non-existent so far during my time here. Company wasn't doing well last year. - The pay raise last year was extremely low, at 1.7% for me, and it is known that there were 0% increases for certain job levels. - In my project, it felt understaffed but overdemanding. All of us had to do more than was healthy for work-life balance, and even though there was comp time for OT, not being able to spend all of it was an actual concern as the project could not afford some people to leave. It should be noted that I have never heard of leave being unapproved for this reason however, but there is stress coming from expectations and sense of responsibility to consider.

Pros

Remote work, free games. Good co-workers.

Cons

Horrendous pay, expectations of work absolutely unreasonable. Turnover rate pretty high, and instead of hiring new employees, just had the remaining team take over the work that required like 10+ employees. Then after requiring 200% productivity to make up for the lack of a team, complained about teams.
