Pros

Good people, very talented group.

Cons

Too many politics, Upper management has been changing directions on a dime. The team I was on was the most improved over the last quarter, lots of positive internal feedback. Then without notice shipped all of our jobs to Hong Kong , a division of the company that was failing. Put a lot of talented people in dire needs. They were fair with severance , but could have been handled much better. Fired a lot of people who were in the trenches working their butts off. Where other management, still there, just BS'd their way to staying and hired talented people to ride coat tales on. They forced the heart of the creative department out of the company, and since then the culture has really changed.

Pros

•Awesome casual work environment •Great, talented, intelligent people on the floor •Pays decently, great full benefits •Plenty of social events (maybe too many) •Easy work if you're looking for that

Cons

•Management filled with friends rather than qualified people •Rampant disorganization and blatant lying to employees from management •CEO has to control everything, doesn't trust anyone •Huge lack of communication regarding almost everything •Extremely stagnant career-wise, no career development or ladders to climb •CEO makes spur-of-the-moment decisions without thinking things through •Very inefficient in most aspects, way too many meetings, interruptions to workflows, last second changes, crunches for every single release •(Subjective) Very boring product and work tasks
