Pros

- Colleagues are great and tend to know more about the industry standards than the CEO - Great office location

Cons

- Micromanagement and a lot of narcissistic behavior from the top executive - Tries to build a AAA game on an indie team and budget - Ignores industry standards for game development - Hires new graduates or industry novices to "mold" them into the desired model employee - Top executive is very argumentative about everything, even when they are wrong - The pay is abysmal and the company dangles raises and bonuses over "milestones" that never actually get completed.

Pros

- great coworkers that work both in and outside of the office to better their skills and create community within the team - great office location in downtown Burbank, close to many restaurants - opportunity to work on big name games, even at an indie studio

Cons

- management manipulates employees, not just with work promises but also emotionally, using personal information given in confidence - CEO's ego to win game of the year is more important than the team's mental health and the projects they work on - Management constantly belittles other coworkers behind their backs, causing turmoil between teams and individuals
