Pros

Back in the Tom Baker days there was a teamwork and a soul and the company CARED about the employees. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. Now it is just more pay and benefit cuts and layoffs. The timing of the merger is probably pretty good.

Cons

Lack of integrity in the pay system. Nothing like blowing away your performance targets, only to have the company renege on paying to play the "bad year" card. The variable pay system is arbitrary and not clearly spelled out, so that they can avoid paying you. No transparency, if you do ____ you get ______ is how it should work, but it doesn't.. The products aren't very good with the star creative game development talent migrating to the competitors Generally were replaced with new college graduates This became a minor league feeder for the other gaming companies. The company has botched the people side. The 401k program is one of the worst in any corporation.

Pros

Great department. A family atmosphere. Good benefits.

Cons

The new transition has gutted the company. Do more with less. Management has no say. The execs that have no knowledge make employment decisions. Seniority or job knowledge doesn’t matter to the people in the ivory tower.Do more with less. No real raises, no chance for advancement.
