I can't speak for life in any of their offices, but just a heads up to anyone thinking of applying here:

I interviewed with them, made it several rounds, and then they went radio silent, after giving me the runaround. Given they approached me, this was particularly confusing. They just seemed very disorganized.

This was a few months back, so maybe they've change, but it was a complete waste of time.

I interviewed in Eugene at a game company once many years ago. Was raining the whole time, their building was covered with moss, people were crammed in cubes in the hall, and the president handed me a written programming test. I handed it back and said no thanks and left.
