Pros

Most of the people on the ground level are passionate, intelligent, and talented. They want to make good games that they want to play and they're very invested in the success of every game that passes through their hands. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. Backflip generally takes good care of their employees, and does a decent job of letting company culture grow organically.

Cons

Hasbro recently stepped in to take a larger role in making decisions at the company. It's hard to tell what that will mean for the future of the company. As Backflip grew, it became more cumbersome and less flexible. Time and effort were poured into failing games instead of cutting losses and pivoting towards more successful options. People on the ground level often felt that their voices and ideas were ignored by upper management who had less experience in the gaming marketplace. Too many opportunities were missed.
