I really don't know much about D&D but WotC had reached out to me a while back for an engineering position. The individual was incredibly unprofessional in just about every way imaginable so I cut things off and said I was not interested before we began talking compensation or anything. Weird company!

Basically the whole tabletop industry is like that, though I think a large part of that is that only Wizards and Paizo have enough sales in the first place to even act as workplaces rather than part-time hobbies.

I also had a weird professional experience with them that I'm probably not allowed to give details on. Not exactly shady or unethical, but they didn't comport themselves well. As a player since 1990, I was excited to work with (the inheritors of) D&D, then suddenly very disappointed with them.
