Pros

I had the chance to work on some good projects for big developers.The payments were usually on time, and working with management was usually a pleasurable experience.

Cons

I wasn't paid for my services on the last project I worked on, not only that but I received no information on the situation despite numerous attempts to contact them.

Small group of talented devs, sad to see it go down in flames.

Small group of indie devs, you know what you're getting in to.

Pros

None. There were absolutely no pros.

Cons

Darkside is the most mismanaged company I have ever worked at. Its owner ran the place with complete disregard for human welfare. He mandated over a year of crunch, 7 days a week, and when I started talking to the team about how the industry was moving away from crunch and we could too, I was fired for giving hope to humans that they have value. I am still on anxiety and depression meds for the depression this put me through.
