Pros

Looks at new technologies and will listen to new ways to compete with the market. Nice employees that respect you and are enjoyable. Very interested in 'serious games' and building content.

Cons

Layoffs without warning (and poorly executed, no respect). Will never do triple-A games or lead a technology field due to lack of resources and further lack of planning. Seriously changed after 2008 layoffs and almost went out of business. Business often gets so bad they have to hold your paycheck (in one case they owed 26 paychecks to one employee). They won't pay anything owed if you leave. They don't have a true 'competitive spirit' and are slow to move forward, thus, never able to be at the top of their game. It's been a ghost town since 2008 and can't seem to afford or manage more than 50 employees. Lots of large empty spaces. Very expensive benefits so much so that it's not often worth paying them unless you are single.
