Best job I've ever had despite a couple frustrations
|
-Fun place to work.
-Lots of perks like free breakfast.
-AMAZING people to work with, great peers with so much knowledge and passion.
-Sharp learning curve but there are a lot of people with the expertise to teach and share.
-The people who work here are the highlight, each person is brilliant and a specialist in their own area, not just for technical skills either.
-It's not a perfect system it seems like most people, especially middle management, does their best to be constantly looking for ways to improve both work efficiency and quality of life.
-Parts of the job can be frustrating, sometimes people see repercussions for choices made by higher ups who simply get to move on to other projects.
-Sometimes subject to some pretty serious "hurry up and wait" style work (seems to be all tech QA suffers from this when talking with peers from other companies though.)

Fun and brief
|
I worked for Bioware briefly at Montreal Comiccon as animator. We were explaining a puzzle to participants. The environment was friendly. It was contractual so it therefore did not include benefits.

An engaging environment if you have direction
|
Upper management has been known to allocate time and efforts on projects to a design that does not have a cohesive plan or structure. This leads to confusion amongst team members.

Best Job Ever!
|
When I think of the best job I've ever had this is it! I've worked in IT for over 20 years and this job is at the top of my experience list. Due to my desire to work long hours (not a requirement) my wife tends to think more along the lines of BioWare being my worst job. If you have a family and they do not work there, make time balance your life.
This is no fault of BioWare's :D

Great place to work, long hours
|
Bioware was a great place to work with excellent people. The culture was awesome, and the original CEO's the best around. Learned more in this job than anywhere else. Terribly long hours and long death-march stretches when nearing project completion.

Great people and wonderful work atmosphere
|
I was brought on as a replacement Development Director for a 1 year contract. The teams I worked with were professional, awesome and dedicated. No need to herd cats here. These pros knew what they were doing and did an amazing job.
The atmosphere was amazing. Art work graced the walls everywhere. Meeting rooms have the latest in technology so that you can hold virtual meetings with team members across the world. And playing the game you were working on was a daily thing. Talk about a dream job. Will definitely miss it.

Free breakfast, great games room, staff kitchens with all amenities, great people, great atmosphere, challenging work

Long hours, stressful pushes to completion, constant changes in direction

Play Games for Work and Fun!
|
I was able to test a game well before it released and to help shape its future. That alone makes the memories worth more than I was paid. The fact it was Star Wars is just icing on the cake.
