      Business outlook

      Pros

      Flexible with allowing personal time off Free coffee, drinks, snacks Casual environment Paid time off to see occasional movies Generally nice people

      Cons

      Members of senior management are family members or close friends, so neutrality is hard to find Senior management does not have work-life balance, as a result, work-life balance cannot be expected by anyone else in the company Senior management does not have any formal management training, as a result, they do not know how to manage people in a productive way When a given project is completed, senior management likes to "clean house" The company operates in feast or famine, there is no middle ground; things are either very good, or very bad Consistent review process does not exist Communication between departments of the company is very poor Company's systems are a house of cards; small issues are difficult to fix and have wide-reaching effects

      Business outlook

      Pros

      -Fun Culture -Technical Challenges (although the CEO has firmly established ideas of who is best at what, so roles will be chosen, not grown into) -Good Company Name Recognition -Makes Videogames

      Cons

      -Long Daily Hours -Cyclic "crunch periods" (every game release) -Cyclic Layoffs (2010, 2015) -Low Base Compensation -Poor Healthcare Package -High Turnover (both terminations and resignations) -CEO/Owner likes to jump into projects and work on them temporarily. This would be fine, but the CEO/Owner is temperamental, pushy, volatile, and is fully beyond reproach due to his total ownership of the company.

      Nice people but no respect from higher peers

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Skilled and fun people to work with Generally laid back environment if you are a fast worker Nice free snacks and drinks Sometimes gets free half day to go see a cool movie Great side activities

      Cons

      Leadership needs to be more respectful in many aspects Gotta work overtime a lot Hard to get a review on time, so it makes it hard to advance in the company, I have seen as late as a year later.
