Pros

-Nice people, including upper management and CEO -Very good "superficial" perks (parties, activities, free stuff), more traditional benefits also decent (free gym membership, healthy snacks, health insurance etc.) -Flexible working hours, relaxed environment, cool office -Nice location in the Old Port -Great work-life balance -Impossible to move up, very difficult or impossible to move to other positions within the company

Cons

-Salaries are a joke -Many completely incompetent people in middle management, most of them have worked at the company from the very beginning, a lot of nepotism (completely useless people are able to hold onto their jobs because their boss is their friend) -Many producers/team leads are completely careless which translates to the rest of the team following their example (meeting rooms are always a mess, people don't clean up after themselves in the kitchen) -The company offers training/professional development opportunities ONLY if it's in the company's best interest / they will majorly benefit from it -HR can be extremely picky when it comes to hiring people, supposedly due to their high standards, although often the rejected applicants end up working in the same position at a different, more successful video game company -Despite the scrutiny of HR, most of our recent games have not been very successful at all
