Business Outlook

Pros

- People first: the team is the soul of the studio, not the work that needs to be done - A good work/life balance is explicitly encouraged - A really exciting project in the making, based on an IP that everybody knows - Control over own tech stack and processes - High creative involvement - Small team + hands-on: we are shaping the culture

Cons

- No fancy bonuses like food and drinks - No fancy office space (we have an office though that is just serving our needs) - No dedicated HR, Office Manager, etc. (because of small team size) - No centralized teams for specific tasks
