Pros

Realtive freedom to create my best work, allowed (for some of the time) to allow on my own expertise. Many people in the company are open to suggestion.

Cons

They are constantly switching managers. It's very difficult to get consistent feedback for what it is they want, and this changes as management and employees turn over, making the product messy and disjointed.

Pros

I worked at GameSalad for nearly 3 years. It was a great job, with great people. Hours were good, pay was good, benefits were good. However... see "cons".

Cons

The CEO is poison. All he cares about is flipping the company. He was only brought on because he did it once before, but it's obvious he has no clue about the games industry, the tools industry, or the education industry, and that he's floundering and destroying the company in the process. The company has no financial vision and no clear route to revenue. They've gone through 5+ business models (and that's being conservative). There was a LOT of infighting at the top until the CEO basically fired or forced out everyone, including two founders, the COO, the CTO, and most of the directors and production staff. There were two surprise rounds of layoffs, and then basically most of the decent employees left after that.

Pros

Was able to create what I wanted independently

Cons

Didn't really have anyone to report to when I started, then when they hired a manager, they didn't seem to understand the content very well, and implemented outdated and inefficient processes
