Pluspunten

Frontier/Braben has high reputation in the history of gaming. But that reputation leads to a dark side - it entails complacency and arrogance leading to mediocrity in later endeavors.

Minpunten

Overtime day one. CEO was disinterested. Code base was a mess. Lead programmer and senior programmers thought they had achieved perfection - and they had not. Upper management treated employees like factory components. Unlawfully asks its employees to sign restrictive contracts after they have signed employment contracts for the job. Game design is infantile and derivative. The studio is in Cambridge Science Park. If it had been in a town centre it would have been significantly cheaper and more convenient to work there.

Pluspunten

Frontier has an amazing knack at finding absolutely wonderful people to populate their development teams. You'll genuinely enjoy the company of your day-to-day colleagues.

Minpunten

As much as Frontier hires exceptional staff, they seem hellbent on not letting them do what they do best or heading their advice. Project direction is often driven by whims of people disconnected from day-to-day development and priorities are often railroaded to appease executive stakeholders.
