Rat an das Management

Keep pushing for recognition externally. Part ways with those that no longer add value to the organization.

Competitive pay Excellent benefits Culture and Diversity Great Work/Life balance Always room for growth I actually feel appreciated I truly enjoy what I do

Kontras

There is always room for Communication Company recognition

Pros

Fun and intelligent coworkers Management seems to care for their people Bonus structure Limited layoffs

Kontras

Acceptable but not fantastic pay Mediocre benefits (medical, dental) No longer masters of their own destiny, forced to be a cog in the annualized Call of Duty money machine

If there is any way possible, get back to making your own games. Serving as an outsource studio for CoD content is soul crushing.

Pros

• Great People (Passionate about what they do) • Nice perks, benefits, facilities • Positive Culture (Raven's culture is open, rewarding, passionate, intelligent, engaging. • Competent IT staff and Human Resources

Kontras

• Long hours. But this is true for most companies in the industry. • Company need's to write it's own path.

Keep an open communication with staff and let the employees do their job.
