Pros

Tried to bring H1Z1 back. Some good people managed to stay after the surprise layoff.

Cons

The CEO and his management team straight up lied to the development team and caused a PR nightmare by making the players think the dev team lied to them. CEO (billionaire Pharma guy) was found to be obviously lying on multiple occasions. Coerces other people to sacrifice on his behalf and then disposes of them.

Pros

Decent pay. Flex time off (kinda). Awesome and passionate people to work with.

Cons

Ownership knows nothing about game industry culture. Corporate takes forever to pay bills. Ultimately they were very robotic when it came time to lay everyone off. Very little humanity in their approach.
