Pros

Work/Life balance s great. Pay is slightly above average. Talent is strong. The culture is good.

Cons

They have been bought out by other companies several times and are now own by Aristocrat Games, which has forced them to become more risk adverse. When new leadership comes in, they fire a chunk of people and try to change everything. It happens too much.
