Pros

Fun, high quality Facebook and mobile games. Most employees talented and motivated, showing into the final product.

Cons

CEO was too unfocused and kept on changing the game rules every other week leading to inconsistent experience and turning off long term players. The company was extended a very generous offer for acquisition but was turned down for political reasons, effectively screwing the employees, most of them laid of a few months later and the company was eventually acquired for pennies on the dollar.

Pros

Smart coworkers, fun culture, fast paced and free beer! Absolutely loved working at Idle Games.

Cons

No free desk side massages. Not much to complain about. Main gripe would be sometimes too hesitant to fire trouble makers. Also sometimes too much investor involvement in day to day operations.
