Pros

- A lot of learnings - Friendly colleagues and collaborative - Great perks

Cons

- No clear communications of career path. For mid-level roles, no career plans and trajectory mapped out for you. Performance review helps but no clear timings of promotion cycle. Some people told you they got a salary raise in other team while your manager never spoke about that topic and each time you brought this up they are extremely reluctant to talk about it. With new games coming in each year and more crunch hours, I think the manager and management should evaluate each one's workload and give raise or promotions. Some team also bias toward men and usually leave the promotions to that. Let's see if that changes in the coming year. - No salary transparency. A range of salary and bonus should be available to all to know in your level what's the pay max and min to avoid underpay or gender bias. - Titles and pay should be staggered to reflect seniority and responsibility. In Dublin office the situation is usually one reports to the other with the same titles. This just confuses local team and international team - Remote working: I am happy with having dedicated days in office to encourage team work, but some times the team I interact with are not on the same days I am in the office which missed the point. If the new hires can have office rotation in UK and US doing their job remotely, I think it's fair having 1 week of working wherever you want or in cities where 2K has office is present.

Pros

Congratulations on joining an IT department sustained primarily by optimism and certificates whose expiration dates invite reflection. Tickets enter a triage process best described as ceremonial — acknowledged warmly, processed philosophically, resolved at the discretion of the universe. Infrastructure decisions suggest a confident autodidactic energy that formal training might have tempered. Your recommendations will be received, appreciated verbally, and composted with dignity. The company charges a premium for its products and charges again for the remainder of them, which is either visionary pricing strategy or a personality trait depending on your tolerance. The gaming chairs are ambitious. The retention numbers are instructive

Cons

• Your labor props up a machine that monetizes joy incrementally until joy is gone • Every unresolved ticket is a monument to institutional indifference • Heidegger called it thrownness — you were thrown here specifically • The infrastructure will outlive your dignity but not your burnout • Mark Fisher already described this place in Capitalist Realism and did not recommend it • You will achieve nothing that compounds • The servers go down. You stay down longer.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
