Pros
- Reasonable option for inexperienced professionals getting started in the industry - Some interesting people to work with
Cons
Those who hold a university degree and/or have at least 2 years of relevant work experience should only consider this company in dire circumstances (beware that this company is capable of making those even WORSE). In anything but the most unfavorable of job markets, you could definitely find something that pays more and afford more job security and growth should you stay in the job market. Anyone who isn't a bilingual 18-24 year old with zero experience should absolutely AVOID working here unless you're interested in derailing any career momentum you may have and stress over your own personal finances. If you DO happen to fit the demographic mentioned above than I would recommend working very diligently during the SUMMER months between E3 and holiday release time (after that there are hardly any projects/work so you'll be laid off) to build your resume and network a bit. If you're not going back to school or have something better lined up by October, you're going to get screwed - so plan ahead and don't be victimized by this company's deceitful practices like so many others who have already commented here have been in the past. Their testing processes are rather lax, allowing for too many errors to end up in released products and not creating an environment for individuals to develop into the best testers they could be. This company has also had at least one issue with unreleased content being LEAKED while being contracted for a well known company - maybe that's why they LOST that contract?? Work here at your own risk....and SHORT-TERM ONLY. Have an exit strategy mapped out on your very first day or you will definitely lose out and end up on unemployment waiting for the phone to ring.
