Pros

Great teams, free lunch fridays, cool swag, neat office, okay pay, work and life balance was all right

Cons

Don't get used to your teams, the project will change or they/you will be let go anyway. Literally almost all of the 'old guard' is gone now. What's left is just another corporate shell of a company under AppLovin. Culture of fear around speaking up or rocking the boat. Everyone seems unsure of future no matter how many speeches say otherwise.

Pros

The People working there are generslly nice.

Cons

This studio’s creative environment has become increasingly dependent on AI-generated content. Traditional artistic contributions are no longer valued, as nearly all artwork and animation now rely on AI tools. Many talented artists have been reduced to merely crafting prompts instead of producing original art. It’s disappointing to witness such a shift away from genuine artistry. The company appears to prioritize automation over its creative staff, and it’s likely that further downsizing of the art team will occur in favor of AI use. I would advise potential applicants to carefully consider these factors, as the long-term outlook for artists here seems uncertain.
