Pros

You will be able to learn many area of business, development, design, content producing process and work very tightly with the other teams. You will be able to learn a lot of process and analyzing data. You work more likely as individual company than looking as a project in the whole company. Planning and reaching KPI are solely responsible to PM.

Cons

The amount of tasks that one person has to carry is way too much compared to the ones who getting the salary. However, incentives are given according to the result of revenue. This can be pros or/and cons but I would say it is more to cons because employees don't have choice to pick the game.

Pros

I joined the new office in El Segundo, CA which is considered a separate branch from the Dublin and the now-defunct Los Angeles office. - Great co-workers - Given a lot of autonomy on tasks - Startup culture (can be a con for some people) - Best health benefits I've ever had - Casual dress-code

Cons

- It is a mobile gaming company, knowledge about mobile gaming is essential. - Fixed working schedule - Can be long hours depending on position - Sometimes have to wear many hats (can be a pro for some people)

Pros

The big projects that they were able to obtain 5 years ago

Cons

complete and utter incompetence at the managerial level. Decisions made without data. No interest in expanding the abilities of the company or themselves. Many times inept management leads to overwhelming crunch work for the entire company. Inability to communicate has led to wasteful decisions as well as the closure of their US subsidiary due to inability to work with the US staff there. This inability to communicate as well as manage has also led to the loss of a high profile AAA project. Not enough support or proper perspective in regards to what are essential projects to the company. Bleeding qualified and formerly motivated employees left and right. Not destined to remain in business or independent.
