Pros

For the most part, employees in the trenches doing the heavy lifting are OK. Are those 20 words?

Cons

Notice how all the low reviews have the highest Helpful votes. It is because they are truthful and not written by some company shills to dupe some naive potential employees to apply. The attrition rate is horrible for a reason. The place is ran very amateurish with the insane CEO running the asylum. The clueless and childish managers following the CEO are what one expect from a place like this. Working way more hours than the standard week as stipulated in the employment contract does not make the so-called "game" better. Lame company outings also does not help morale if the actual working employees are not respected and working crazy long hours.

While you certainly have a right to your view of the company, candidates considering employment at Machine Zone require accurate and truthful information upon which to base a decision. Machine Zone's commitment to creating a positive work environment where employees feel valued and appreciated is evident from our voluntary attrition rate, which is less than 1%. Machine Zone is definitely a fast-paced and hard working company, which may not be a good fit for everyone, however, most of our employees are committed to the success of the company and feel that the rewards are well worth the effort.

Pros

MZ time is an unique concept. We move a lightning speed and the projects we take on are enormous. We have big goals: "reach for the stars" aspirations, and we are determined to will them into reality NOW. That kind of vision requires dedication and determination as well as some patience. MZ is the most challenging environment I've ever worked within, it's also the most rewarding. I've grown so much in the last year and a half that I am not only a better employee and manager, but a better person, as well. The amazing feeling of looking back at a year's progress to marvel over visions realized is well worth every OT hour and every frustrating moment it took to do it.

Cons

There's always something that could make things faster, better, easier, cleaner, or less work, but I believe I learned more from the mistakes I've made, from the challenges I overcame and from the roadblocks I smashed than I would have if they weren't present at all. Every company has it's challenges. We work through them and learn from them.
