Pros

Young coworkers. Work from home.

Cons

Management doesn't communicate with each other and project expectations are not explained well. Founder is rarely heard from unless he is asking employees to review some new business he's starting, and when you do hear from him, it's via an angry email with lots of cursing. They expect to own all employees time. Friday night at 11pm and there is a problem with the study? Get to your computer. They expect a lot from the people they are rude to on the bottom. I've seen people let go without their direct supervisor even knowing their subordinates had been fired.

Pros

Great core team, great work product, cool sector, interesting research, fun working environment, remote-friendly, met amazing friends and family on the job, learned a ton.

Cons

Hours can be long and sporadic, work can be challenging (not always in a positive developmental opportunity kind of a way), staffing can be very difficult in today's work-life climate, competition is everywhere and growing every year, while the industry we serve is consolidating and can become more and more difficult to expand within.

Pros

Work from home. You get to see video game characters from unreleased titles.

Cons

Management is fragmented and doesn't communicate well. CEO is absent, and when you hear from him, he writes incredibly aggressive and angry emails full of swears. The managers have no management training. They expect you to return emails at midnight on a weekend. No upward mobility.
