Business Outlook

Pros

Great personal environment. Most of the perks of a startup still. Food, relaxed work environment, easily portable work environment.

Cons

Poor process development. All of the negatives of a startup still. No accountability, no pipeline for getting work done, no culture of doing things right, rather than doing them five times.

Very smart people, and seriously, nothing beats Game development in terms of engineering challenges.

Cons

Bad press and negative outside perceptions due to some unfitted employees (possibly from too many bad acquisitions and recruitments).
