The culture in nintendo is fantastic! They have their roots from the Japanese culture, which makes the culture very fun and exciting. Nintendo is a great place to work at!

As a producer, the salary is about 55-60K a year, including multiple benefits including health and vacation. Biannual bonuses are good. Depending on which level, you can receive up to 20%-50% of your base salary for bonuses. I actually think bonuses should be the same percentage wise for each level of the company. The people who are producing would then have more incentives to do a great job. Overall things are great in Nintendo though.

As a manager, salary is usually within the $70-80K range, with bonuses of up to 50% of base pay. There's also a healthy insurance as well as a 401K plan. There's also a decent amount of vacation and floating holiday time. They usually take care of people pretty well.

Being a well-known brand that makes good games, it is quite competitive in getting into the company. There's usually a three round interview process, and they try to hire from within when they can first. They also look heavily upon if you can improve team morale and make others better.

There are certain growth opportunities within the firm, but it is usually more time-serve based than merit based. This is due to the Japanese culture of respecting elderly. In the past few decades of Japan, most people stay in one company for life, so there would never be a case where an elderly person is below you. The US division is seperate from the Japanese one, but there are still some cultural crossovers.

The work at Nintendo is very fast-pasted and fun. Assuming you like video games, everything is a lot of fun and exciting. It is also quite stressful at times when deadlines are approaching, and you also must have a lot of flexibility in changing your schedules and projects. This shouldn't be a problem if you are used to video games.

The environment here is great! People have fun, communication is usually very fluid, and everything is very casual. The culture is slightly influenced by the Japanese culture, but it takes care of its people.
