Pros

Pocket Gems does a great job balancing being a fun place to work (you make video games for a living!) with still being a real company - they generally care about and invest in employee training and growth, have real reporting structures and an organizational layout that makes sense, and offer competitive salaries and benefits. A great place to work if you want to love what you do, but not have to deal with bad management or poor organization to do it.

Cons

As trite as "work hard, play hard" sounds, Pocket Gems is a pretty demanding place to work. The work can be super rewarding, and for me it was a huge chance to learn and grow in my career, but it was also a pretty consuming experience.

Pros

they looks for smart people. interviews can be tough, but it's a fun place to work and they respect what you do. They do give young people opportunities to succeed as well and take on their own projects.

Cons

take it or leave it, it is a games company. everybody loves games. sometime though it's like whoa, you know the details of Mario Kart way beyond what a normal human should know.
