Pros

Great team and projects, really enjoyed the culture. Liked the groups I worked with and you are given plenty of autonomy and respect.

Cons

The company is very sensitive to the ebbs and flows of the economy and the games industry, and was recently acquired by a company who was also acquired, and the independence is gone. Finances are tight and morale was low and the team was on edge from 2024 onward.

Pros

- Talented developers and artists working across the teams - Some interesting technical experience from co-development projects - Opportunity to work with experienced individual contributors

Cons

- Constant project pivots leading to years of work that never ships - Multiple projects started and abandoned with little to show for resume - Direction changes frequently with little long-term planning - Leadership structure that creates heavy middle management but little accountability - Poor pay tier with long term employees making considerably less than new hires -Staff reductions handled poorly and with limited transparency - Focus on safe, derivative co-development projects rather than building original IP
