Pros

Great location, extremely good health care, good overall coworkers that are passionate about the projects they are on.

Cons

Very low pay for the industry. Senior management is a complete disaster that change their minds on a near daily basis. CEO is paranoid and vengeful towards those that don't agree with him - nearly the entire executive team has changed in the past 12 months. In the 18 months here I've been on multiple projects that have been changed 180 degrees or just flat out canceled on a moment's notice.

Pros

Awesome low level employees, you get very close to those who suffer with you

Cons

This company claims to 'make great games' however that is everything but what is experienced there. The talent in this organization lies in those who create, however these people are let go when projects fail due to mismanagement of resources. There is constant re-pivoting which clearly shows no direction from upper management. If you disagree with an idea, you are cast out and seen as one who rocks the boat. While employed here I watched multiple projects fail with no restructuring and no blame placed on those who are in charge. It is a company where, if you keep your mouth shut and become a cog in the wheel, you may succeed, but only to the degree to which management fails. Whens the last time you played a great game, looked at the studio and saw the Z2 logo? Yeah, i never have either.

No trust in employees + strange business direction

Pros

You can experience some fast-paced and hot industry with nice and young employees. Except some upper management folks, many are fun to work with. Maybe some free food and free lunch, but they're...pretty much like Costco trail mix and cheap pizza.

Cons

It's a joke - disguising as an "Internet Usage Policy", Z2 forced their employees to sign on the letter that says "sending or posting information that is defamatory to the company" is "unacceptable". I hear CEO always complains about the Glassdoor (and orders some to leave fake reviews; you can easily tell which one is fake) and now, he's trying to stop his employees from posting anything negative. Really? You will be treated like a child here (with all that famous Z2 censorship) if you work here. This company (or CEO) also has very questionable business tactics. Or just "a" tactic - expanding to new platforms forever. Period. Although they have (only) one decent (but old and cruelly boring) product with seemingly a best team/PO for it in Z2, they are making same stuff repeatedly over everywhere without any further update/changes. Mac/Amazon/Steam? What's next? Don't be surprised if Z2 does Xbox or Windows phone.
