Pros

Talented people whose talents are squandered. Fun IP that is faithfully honored, but not fun at it's core. Small teams.

Cons

Bad Management. Big egos with ever changing swinging directives handed down from an ivory tower. Career stalling. No cultivation of skills. No rewards financially or professionally. Collect your pay check and GET OUT! Progress black hole.

Pros

This is an independent studio that values each employee's personal and professional growth, and they can choose to work from home anywhere in the US. The culture is highly creative, dynamic, and with lots of opportunities to socialize within and outside work hours. Compensation is higher than average for a studio this size, and benefits that reward performance as well as work/life balance.

Cons

Don't come here if you want to blend into the background of a large studio - this is a place where people are expected to own their job, roll up their sleeves, and collaborate and make games. Good news is that individuals have a big impact on what ends up in-game.
