Pros

- Pay - Chill atmosphere - Communication is very considerate - Not hard nosed about granting you leave - Great game engine, really helped me further hone my directorial skills - Remote

Cons

- Internal communication at the co. is very very poor. You can't talk to your own manager for weeks or months sometimes. - Little to no transparency regarding important decisions that affect your life within the co. - Weak Leadership - If you are looking for work sponsorship: forget about it. It ain't gonna happen. - Severe lack of a human touch if you are working with them remotely. It's just very very strange.
