What is your experience with "...." company?
polycounter lvl 14
Hey everyone,
There may be a thread like this, if there is please direct me in the right direction.
Basically I am just curious of peoples' various experiences with different companies. I will be graduating in about 9 months and I want to know what companies treat their employees well. I heard that whole EA schpeel a while back (not sure what it was about), but it had something to do with poor working conditions I believe.
Just say a few sentences of where you've worked and what it was like
!
This thread could grow enough to help a lot of others out there as well.

EDIT:
Here's another one where people like to talk about quality of life issues from time to time:

You have to work in the industry and join using an industry email address. It kinda took over fatbabies from years ago.
That's why TCE is useful, as are some of these other sites that allow you to post and get semi-anonymous info. The other, easier option, is to look up there in that thread here in polycount that lists polycounters working at various places and send them a PM asking what it's like working there.
Position: Paper Deliverer
Length of Employment: 4 months
Compensation: About $160.00 a month plus tips.
Benefits: None
Overall Impression: Getting up at the crack of dawn to bundle and deliver newspapers to cranky geriatrics was not worth the money. I should have mowed lawns instead.
Hope this helps out.
ChaosEngine is likely your best place for this sort of info.
I understand about the whole burning bridges thing, too. I was a bit hesitant to post this thread because I was unsure of the kind of response I was going to get... but I'm glad I was informed about TCE
I suppose I will try unless someone can refer me, if that is possible.
