Pluspunten

Incredible CEO and team. You get room to be creative and bring your own solutions to the table. Everyone is talented and kind. My bosses care about me as a person, which is the first time I've seen that in the game industry. I think this is the perfect place to work if you're a talented midcareer developer looking to challenge yourself and learn.

Minpunten

It could be a bad fit if you need direct instruction. There's little mentorship because leads are busy. They expect you to be in charge of your own growth. I like that but others could not. The company has growing pains from its indie days. The leadership in the narrative department is toxic. It's a married team (extremely unprofessional situation) who don't understand game narrative. If your role means you work directly with narrative, the department will make it hard to do your job. The writers always seem to leave after a while. If you want to work here because you love narrative-driven games, keep your expectations in check. If your work comes late in the pipeline like animation and audio, things can be stressful, but the company is working on this and getting better.

Pluspunten

- An incredibly rare people centric, empathetic, progress place - People are treated with respect, dignity and appreciation - Deeply passionate about the craft and artistry - Fantastic creative and wildly talented teams - A truly compassionate CEO who cares for his people

Minpunten

I find the following incredibly hard to write due to my affection for the people & place but - Leadership that means well but does not comprehend the impact and ramifications of their actions - Lack of focus, discipline, processes, and clear direction - Appalling prioritisation and communication (in the sense of a lack off) from some of the most central leadership - At times distrusting, and insular: a hierarchy/clique of trust that causes outsiders to feel even more alienated, unheard or seen - particularly as a significant number of the studio are friends + former colleagues from other Montreal studios, causing unconscious bias or favouritism - Continually allows things & people to fail/fall apart/crumble instead of stepping in with respectful yet affirmative action - resulting in lost time& work, but more importantly careers being harmed or ended, and peoples lives being thrown into complete disarray - Personal relationships are prioritised over, and impact other/less favoured people's work
