Pros

The people were really great to work with, outings were a lot of fun, and it felt like management really tried to do their best to put the employees first. The office environment/space was awesome and there was always something to do after you're done with your workload.

Cons

Maybe as a result to putting employees first they ended up giving them too much leeway and there wasn't a lot of accountability if there ended up being internal conflict. Also it didn't feel like you could move up in the company as a result of it being somewhat small. All the positions seemed fairly midlevel, depending on the type of work you were taking on.

Pros

Nothing anymore, see cons for explanation.

Cons

The acquisition put people in charge that do not understand games nor the market. The expectations seemed fair but it was all a lie as they pulled the rug out from under the only studio that was doing anything right. We just released a game that has immense potential and great numbers. The lack of understanding of core games probably just put the nail in the coffin for the company, not just our studio. The team that had been 5th planet for all these years is completely gone.
