Pros

As a software engineer the environment was great. I remember being surrounded by good engineers, a great mentor, latest technologies and best practices. Also I remember having a nice PC and various good friends which I enjoy having lunch and playing games during lunch time.

Cons

At that time I didn't realize it but now I think company leaders and big bosses should have lead the company better. I saw many good engineers leaving. Project schedules were really bad but I was 120% committed to my project (My entire team had to work really late hours to accomplish schedule) and compensation was just near OK. Company is having a bad time recovering and I hope it gets its same power as year 2011.

Pros

Engineers tended to have good team dynamics for the most part. Middle management did a great job keeping execs and initiatives from upper management from getting in the way of engineers' jobs

Cons

Some upper management was extraneous at best and actually hurt the team's productivity at worst. Work on mobile games isn't great experience for other fields since it doesn't really use tech from other gaming spheres (c++) and doesn't really use cutting edge mobile app design.
