Pros

The average workers are amazing people.

Cons

Since the aristocrat takeover, management have been either replaced, or hired over by soulless corporate shills that only care about making money by any means necessary. Jobs are starting to get outsourced, and multiple teams are in the process of teaching outsiders how to do their jobs. So may people are leaving we have started clumping their going away parties together. Meanwhile, they tell us that everything is fine, while slowly taking away responsibilities. Our new CEO is a bully that came over from EA, obsessed with “winning” and “crushing the competition” with no regard how it is accomplished. In his first speech to the company he said there were no layoffs planned. Only a few months later they laid off %15 percent of the studio. Every one at the top has been replaced by his lackies, that share his money first, people last attitude.
