Pros

Company was a great place to work while it was growing. Employees were treated with respect and nurtured. Had Great opportunities for growth.

Cons

Company is now a shell of its former self. Pay is bad for the area. Design decisions are made by CEO and causes trouble for the designers plans. Many layoff periods. Work/life balance can be a challenge.

Pros

Nothing anymore, see cons for explanation.

Cons

The acquisition put people in charge that do not understand games nor the market. The expectations seemed fair but it was all a lie as they pulled the rug out from under the only studio that was doing anything right. We just released a game that has immense potential and great numbers. The lack of understanding of core games probably just put the nail in the coffin for the company, not just our studio. The team that had been 5th planet for all these years is completely gone.
