Pros

:The other employees were pretty nice people on the most part. :It's near a car park so easy to escape to the motorway (you don't want to be in Guilford for longer than is necessary).

Cons

Where to start. Medium to large projects (up to eighty staff working on them) were tracked using post-it-notes on whiteboards placed at random locations in the office. Producers would move post-it's around depending on their level of completed-ness and remove them when finished. Notes would fall off and be put back in the wrong place etc etc. Production was beyond incompetent. When budgeting for a major project, they neglected to include the build for the entire environment for a game. Rather than correct their mistake, they stole capacity from other departments and kept it quiet from management. Did I mention post it notes? Their idea of 'original content' is ripping off films from past and making them into awful games. Check out their latest horror game and compare it to a movie called 'Ghost Ship'. I'm sure the legal team at Warner Brothers are going to have a field day when that gets a release. Management are bullies. People had mental breakdowns because of their behavior.

Pros

Interesting games to work on. People are generally great. A good hybrid scheme.

Cons

It's going from bad to worse in terms of trusting leadership. Following layoffs, people already felt low but even after launching a big game, the policies and weak leadership make everything so needlessly stressful. Someone else wrote that this is not a person first company and I have to completely agree. There's next to no consideration for the impact decisions have on people. Crediting is also becoming a stupid issue.
