Pros

Promising and ambitious project that seems to still be doing alright financially possibly?

Cons

The company used to have an awesome team, but almost the entire team has quit or been fired in the last like 8 months. The CEO went nuts with narcissism and started making crazy demands of everyone and aggressively leading the project in bad directions. Quality and stability of the project went way down. Everybody left. Before the crisis I might have said it was an okay place to work, I enjoyed my time there for the most part because the rest of the team was awesome and was very close, despite the fact that the CEO was always hard to deal with and the pay was not great. But that team and that culture is completely gone now, and all that's left is this one bad leader and a bunch of remote contractors. Pay is way below average, and no benefits. Basically no upsides here. Other than that they will hire just about anybody, if you're willing to suck up to the boss real hard. So some people found it a way to get a foot in the door in the video game industry.
