Pros

There are some truly amazing and talented people working here.

Cons

The company was plagued by petty infighting between internal factions, poor management decisions, and little regard for work life balance. While I worked there, employees were hired and fired (or quit) with such frequency that people didn't bother to learn each other's names. While I worked there, every team in the company was always in some kind of crisis that could have been avoided with better planning. The CEO is a poor leader that failed to address situations when he needed to and overreached when it wasn't warranted.

Pros

Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful when starting. Very flexible schedule, as long as you get your stuff done. Lots of communication between departments.

Cons

I had to bring/use my own equipment. I was unable to be hired due to budget constraints.

Pros

• Remote work options available • Ability to have a flexible schedule, within reason (you'll still be expected to attend important meetings and meet deadlines, of course) • Incredibly friendly and inclusive work environment • Employees are passionate about what they do and always willing to help each other to accomplish goals • Full-time benefits are generous • Opportunities for team building to grow closer with your fellow coworkers • Opportunities to attend in-person events to help promote and grow the company (for both in-person and remote workers) • Be part of the growth of the indie games industry as Serenity Forge not only develops in-house games, but also publishes indie games by small dev teams to consoles and various platforms

Cons

• Due to the nature of the game industry, how busy you are will fluctuate throughout the year based not only on your role within the company but also on current and incoming contracts, events, and internal organization • You may be expected to work outside of your usual work hours when deadlines are tight
