Pros

Every Other Friday Off On-Site Gym There are some talented and smart people at the company

Cons

Salary - I am just gonna say that after leaving Zindagi, I got a $45k raise in my salary. There is a lot of chaos. Management that does not have any clue about what's going on. Art controls not only the art side but also the design side of the project. A lot of thrash and confusion happens because decisions come from the art side, and they are not well thought out. Engineering management is not done in a smart manner, and a lot of poor decisions are made. Some people who work at the company are there just because they have been there forever, not because they are qualified.

Pros

Every other friday off and no crunch.

Cons

A work environment ranging from awkward and incredibly insensitive to outright hostile towards female employees. The studio is stuck in the past with a large number of lead and senior positions being filled by the same people for years. Management is an echo chamber and *a lot* of amazing talent has come and gone because they weren't part of the boys club. To make matters worse, this club doesn't care about games. At all. This shows not just from the lack of enthusiasm about the games, but also in the lack of creativity and originality in any of these games. There are and were tons of people with great ideas, but they were never in a position to help a dire lack of vision on the part of the management.
