Yes, that was my experience as well. In my case I think it was a minor pay increase compared to my previous job, but a significant portion of that total compensation came in the form of an annual bonus (so from my perspective it was as though they were basically withholding a big chunk of my income each year).
- ethbro 8y agoThat does seem to be a feature in the game industry -- a lot riding on bonuses (and often the contract terms defining their payout). And when you have compensation terms without being empowered to influence them... burnout. Capricious bonus terms with a large public company always felt slimy to me. It seems a pretty large conflict of interest. In contrast to: 'We agree on what my work is worth, if I don't do the work as expected then you fire me.'
