Pros
They once rented a hot dog truck and gave everyone a ticket for a free hotdog.
Cons
Management cannot use industry standard programs such as Photoshop, After Effects and Perforce. Art management and math/game design pressures employees to steal art from other companies. HR and higher management are aware of this. CEO has stated to the entire studio that he hates Vegas and wishes he hadn't taken the job. Math/Game design holds the entire studio hostage by having no interest in producing work. Not a single workable math model was made during my time there. That said, the younger members of the math department seem to see the job as a "Pipeline to Aristocrat". I'm not sure if they realize putting "theoretical math" on their resumes won't impress anyone outside of Ainsworth in this industry. The senior math department members are not much better, as they clearly spend no time training new hires in their department or even requiring them to do work. One of them refuses to even speak with female team members (if there are any left. I believe the majority of women left the team last year). In fact last year alone management and HR chased off between 20-30% of their entire studio with bad practice and no real support or change being made. Which explains all of their recent new job listings.
