Pros

There was a lot of really talented people coming from places like Dream Works or Aarmand to enjoy working with and learning from. The animation studio had a crew of 100+ people.

Cons

They managed so bad their success that they laid off the whole animation studio. No one is left there.

Pros

The company has great people with a lot of talent. It feels like a startup in terms of processes and tools so it's a good way to learn and get into the nitty gritty of things. You also get some Angry Bird swag which is always a plus. From my understanding, the company has been trying to move a lot of the processes to the US which I'm sure are making things easier.

Cons

The HQ is located in Finland which would make it sometimes difficult to get things done given the time difference. Also, with everything so manual, it would take longer to get some things done such as reports and answers needed from the team in Finland.
