Pros

Culture is great, people are easy to work with

Cons

randomized org structure. I reported to a manager that I only saw/spoke to once a month. actually worked under a different manager, but he wasn't in my reporting structure so had no input on reviews. I basically had to explain to my manager what I did for the company.

Business Outlook

Pros

Big Fish games was a stable place to work with functional, happy teams and engaging projects.

Cons

This company was sold into new management and has since shifted its strategy from making games in house to generating quick and cheap content overseas. This is no longer a company that makes games, in spite of the name. Lay offs have become increasingly frequent.
