Pros

I left a position with a very toxic boss only to join PLAYSTUDIOS with an executive team of inexperienced egomaniacs. The only pro was that I was significantly better at my job than everyone around me so I was able to continuously out perform despite incompetent leadership and hires. I also made money on my stocks by leaving early and recently selling while anyone foolishly held out hope for the company to actually succeed.

Cons

Nepotism was horrific. Despite entire lack of experience and competence these people were entrusted with the success of major titles. Failure and disasters were never addressed at the source and instead of ever holding the right people accountable they shut down a studio.
