I have a family member there, it's because he's highly unlikely to be fired (even as they fire lots of folks) and he's looking for the right position elsewhere.
Yet.
Also, out of respect for the entire sustainability of the sector, why perpetuate a company that treats engineers like disposable commodities?
After 30 years of seeing this over and over, I left the game industry.
I managed to learn a few things (no particular order):
1. work for an engineer ceo 2. work on a product that requires engineers (not just sales) 3. work for yourself
maybe I'll add these to http://truth.techendo.co/
