Pros

- awesome projects - working with Nintendo is cool - get to work on big cool features - very smooth tech - majority of people are great - lots of room for contribution

Cons

- sparse teams, sparse management - not all disciplines have enough people or are represented, so lots of switching hats and lots of work if your discipline is understaffed - not enough accountability in management - not diverse management, sadly minorities blamed first, congratulated last - no reviews, raises happen when they happen which sounds like rarely - spot needs to open to be promoted, lots of people on contract without good benefits, sometimes for long periods of time until a spot opens

Working with Nintendo, some cool people, easy work.

Management has drastically declined in quality and competence. Out of touch of todays compensation in industry. Yes men do well, speaking up can hinder your “career” here.

Pros

- The people were very nice - Good team building events - Obviously cool IPs

Cons

- Crunch and overtime were planned for and nothing was done to avoid it - Any suggestions to improve processes were dismissed out of hand "this is the way we've always done things" - Weird "we're like a family, you take care of the company and the company takes care of you" mindset - No project management software, generally very outdated software
