Pros

- Unlimited PTO in principle, along with flexible working hours and a work-from-home policy. - Colleagues are generally friendly and supportive.

Cons

- Although the company offers unlimited PTO, employees may face pressure or questioning from HR when taking extended leave, which makes the policy feel limited in practice. - There is no unused annual leave payout during layoffs because of the unlimited PTO structure. - Senior management lacks clear direction, and decision-making is often inconsistent. Forecasts have been wrong multiple times, and priorities can change very quickly. - Layoffs and headcount freezes happen from time to time, yet there still appears to be unnecessary spending at the leadership level. Some teams also seem to spend carelessly, reflecting weak management and poor financial discipline. - Leadership is very conservative in product strategy. Many games feel like recycled versions of older ideas rather than genuine innovation, while bets on newer titles have also failed to gain much market traction.

It's fun; you can learn a lot, and you can meet people.

Management is horrible; we're not able to receive new batteries so the store can operate properly & have consistent tech issues.
