Pluspunten

Low cost of living. Saints Row is a popular series.

Minpunten

So many cooks wanting a say in creative decisions and management and keeps adding more, like it’s a corporate goal. Not enough people in UI, tech art, tech design, lighting. Volition insists on building their own tools like it’s 2002, but they have one tenth the team they need to support them, so the they’ve been falling behind for the last 5 or more years. Company will never ship a successful game that’s not Saints Row. Too many people involved to really be sharp and creative.

Thanks so much for the feedback. We have definitely taken this to heart, and have restructured things at a franchise and studio level to remove bureaucracy and ensure sure people are empowered by the tools and processes to keep making amazing games. We've also actively hiring in all the disciplines you mentioned, and have had some great senior hires come in recently. We very much appreciate hearing your thoughts and wish you the best at your new gig!

Amazing people, work environment, culture, and teams! Loved everyone I met and wish I could go back. Was offered a full time position prior to their closure.

Minpunten

Took a little while (towards the end of my internship) to know that I was being offered a full time position prior to their closure.
