Pros

It is a new company trying to imitate some popular moblie games with mediocre versions, but it is very easy to get hired!

Cons

If you really want to grow your skills and your carrer as an Artist doing some cool characters that you would be proud to put in your porfolio to expand your opportunities then....this is definetely NOT the right the place for you, If you are a junior artist just starting your journey and you are looking for a company that would hire you easily without many requirements, then this is your company! althought you will spend a lot of time in useless meetings, reporting what you are doing 2/3 times per day, and just doing some boring technical tasks instead of creative/artistic ones. You will end out burnt out, frustrated, just doing it for the money without any other motivation. They only want you to follow their direction, which always lack of appeal, good taste, strong design and mostly very noticeable anatomical problems on the characters Their art is really poor, mediocre and cheap and they pretend they listen to their employees suggestions but the truth is that they don't, there is no room for improvement, you will just become a production monkey. I know many great artist that moved from big studios to new startups like this, so I accepted the job thinking that was going to be the case here, but they only want you to follow their ridiculous feedback like an obedient soldier with no voice... The company has very ambicious plans but without any strong product to make a difference in the horizon. -Nepotism. seems they hire they own friends no matter the talent. -They behave like a cult, lots of cringe moments! -Same complains on IT and other departments

Pros

I could not ask for a better team to work with. We are very well aligned on goals and strategies across the entire company. Those goals push us to define strategies that make every person here feel part of the process to bring games to market. We are encouraged here to voice our opinions at every level and have our say. I wouldn't want to work anywhere else right now.

Cons

There are times when I get lost in corporate paperwork and tracking. This can be discouraging at times. I try to carve out time in my day to process the paperwork, ensuring it gets done without too much injury.
