Pros

The partners and the wealth of IP which is sadly not being used to the fullest. The companyw as once full of very professional and different peopel from the normal game publishers here in Korea but ineptitude, timidity, and inability to manage personnel has driven most away

Cons

The previous management was not just incompetent, ignorant, and seriously underqualified but they also made no steps to ameliorate their lack of knowledge by continuous education, attendance at industry seminars, or anything to keep up to date. The horrible way they handled the hostile M&A from Liveplex further destroyed morale within the company. New CEO and incoming management are too new to judge yet.

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.
