Pros

Take-Two has a really move fast culture and has some of the most talented people in the industry. It's truly a production based dynamic where the labels expect a lot out of their people during crunch time. The team is lean right now but growing fast. New IT management from the top down cares about building a strong company culture and is making changes for the better.

Cons

Expectations are high so a lot people are putting in a lot of long hours. I haven't had a problem with work life balance though. Technical debt moving fast means adding layers instead of designing stable systems. Online operations could be built with more elegance instead of having Rockstar throw cash at the problem. Crowding! Recent employee growth means it is very noisy and can be a challenge to find private space for meetings, calls, time to think, etc... Facilities management ignores reasonable requests to improve the space.

Pros

good but not great benefits

Cons

Very disorganized management and company. T2 is basically a holding company and lets the labels, especially Rockstar, have free rein to do what they want with no accountability to T2 management. T2 employees always criticize Rockstar and their employees as arrogant. Workplace is a cluster with no real input and are at the mercy of the labels and their directions - just puppets bending to the whims of the labels. Very difficult to make change
