Pros

1. A few good games to work on. 2. The development team is genuinely filled with curiosity and consistently delivers 3. As a designer, we get to look at multiple aspects of game development especially hardware. 4. A few nurturing seniors (but most left)

Cons

1. A lack of direction at the executive level, mostly knee jerk reactions rather than a long term strategy. 2. High turnover, we had some really good people and most left. 3. A culture of hidden fear that is masked by surface layer employee feedback structure. 4. Mediocre pay at best, bonuses are rare, planning in product development is non existent. 5. A very old school way of looking at employees as property rather than assets.

Pros

-Day-to-day work environment is generally positive and easy to be in. Team members are approachable and collaborative. -Creative roles have room to execute and bring ideas to life, especially in marketing and product-facing work. -Exposure to multiple parts of the business (product, marketing, sales) can help build a well-rounded skill set. -Leadership is accessible on a surface level, and communication is not overly bureaucratic. -The industry itself (arcade/amusement) is unique and can be genuinely interesting to work in.

Cons

-Long-term vision and strategic direction feel inconsistent or unclear. There is a lack of cohesive, forward-looking planning. -Compensation is well below market standards for comparable roles, even when factoring in the niche/legacy nature of the industry. Pay does not consistently reflect the level of skill, output, or cross-functional responsibility expected from employees. -Repeated investment into oversaturated or poorly validated markets, often with underdeveloped execution plans. -Projects are frequently pursued without full commitment or proper resourcing, leading to reactive decision-making. -Resources (time, budget, inventory) are misallocated, with capital tied up in products that do not move effectively. -Employee growth, advancement, and long-term development are not prioritized in a meaningful way. -Layoffs or role cuts appear to be a downstream effect of earlier strategic missteps rather than external necessity. -There is a pattern of “winging it” after significant investment has already been made, instead of disciplined planning upfront. -High-level decisions do not always reflect feedback or insights from teams closer to the customer or execution layer.

Pros

Work is autonomous with a lot of ownership over what you do. Features are interesting with direct impact on the business.

Cons

Pay and benefits can be better.
