Pros

Everyone wants to make a good product. They are trying to make the next steps in studio growth out of PC-only indie. One of the few game developers in Georgia if you wish to be located here.

Cons

You won't be included in the decision making or planning process even if you are a primary developer. After discussing this with an owner, my concerns were brushed off. Get ready to play guessing games with your roadmap, and be blind sided by marketing requests such as public demos while still in preproduction. This was odd given the small company size. They won't hire an IT guy. Get ready to fix your machine, other people's machines, and maintain several servers should you need them. The company is very focused on game scripting in UnrealScript, so it might not be a good place for Juniors as that is an obsolete skill.

I'm sorry you felt frustrated. We now have 3 people in production, so the roadmap should be more clear. We have also hired an IT guy. We have also launched on PS4 Pro, so we are no longer PC only. I feel that we are heading in a good direction and I hope that we have fixed some of the issues that you stated.

Pros

It's a small team, which means you know/interact with everyone. The owners are physically right next to you. You can always interact with them. It's cool that they have had team vacations. The only job where I didn't complain about overtime because of the small team that you felt you had a purpose. For the most part there was zero overtime in 4 years I was there. I even had pinged them if they wanted me to work OT when a project was behind schedule. Nobody likes everyone in the world, but for the most part I'd say 99% of the people were cool people. I never came in and felt pressured/freaked out about not knowing what to do or how to do it. The local area is nice and has good schools. I turned down a lot of jobs wondering if they would be better that working here. I was nervous to even notify the owners I was planning to leave because overall it was a positive experience and felt I let them down by leaving. I somewhat regret leaving because there were a lot of really cool people there.

Cons

I think they are trying to grow too big, and have too high of ambitions. The industry has seen lots of ghosts, and they could easily fall off the map in the next few years. They should stay small and leverage the IP's that they have, but I'm not sure that is what they want to do.

Pros

Plenty of benefits. No more overtime unless you like it or you're late with your own work. We take company vacations once and while and its really not something they owe us either. The owners try to take care of everyone and really genuinely want this to be a great place to work.

Cons

The company is not perfect but eventually wrinkles get ironed out.
