Pros

Great offices Cool colleagues Trendy perks Good brand name (still) for developers

Cons

- Strategic vision for core gaming unit is hollow. PMs are made to chase past successes without concrete roadmap for KPIs in new hybrid casual market that has been dramatically changed by IDFA. - Executive Mgmt is no longer focused on gaming and is embarking on blatant diversification strategy. Most of their time is now spent on new initiatives in music and video (where the argument for competitive advantage is quite thin), M&A, personal investments in heath start ups like aura.care (creepily similar to theranos) and surfing - hiring practices are flagrantly abusive wherein 8 month trial periods are systematically used as a cover the time that an initiative can be validated by mgmt or not without passing onto CDI.
