Pros
Clearly trying to change the way things are run and understandably this takes time but there's clear want to push in the right direction. Giving people the chance to build their own experiences and improving a company from the ground up, you make it your own. Management is very open to listening to issues and come up with ways to improve. Supervision is nice and friendly and I feel like my opinion is valued. Quality of product has jumped a lot from years before and getting more fun projects. Very relaxed atmosphere, love the look of the studio.
Cons
Bad location but WFH option is great. Pipeline is a bit of a mess in some areas but what company doesn't have issues in pipe(at least they realize the issue and are actively working on it)? Pay is a bit low when you compare it to big studios, but it's a boutique studio so it's what's to be expected. No bonuses like profit sharing if the company does well in a year. Contractors don't get sick or holiday pay. Can't offer visa sponsoring due to being a small studio, as to be expected but still a shame.
