Pros

Some of the best people you'll ever work with. The team really believes in what they're doing.

Cons

Not a lot of upward movement. No management structure, so you wear many hats and have a lot of responsibilities.

Pros

Fun company culture, game nights, and co-workers are friendly.

Cons

Management decisions are questionable, poor allocation of company resources, and failure to reward hard work. Unstable place to work since they shutdown quite a few games in recent years and struggle to do the correct things to release new market competitive titles.

Pros

The people were really great to work with, outings were a lot of fun, and it felt like management really tried to do their best to put the employees first. The office environment/space was awesome and there was always something to do after you're done with your workload.

Cons

Maybe as a result to putting employees first they ended up giving them too much leeway and there wasn't a lot of accountability if there ended up being internal conflict. Also it didn't feel like you could move up in the company as a result of it being somewhat small. All the positions seemed fairly midlevel, depending on the type of work you were taking on.
