Pros

Very sharp, highly competent team. Supervisor/Lead knows more about software and 'how things work' than most places I have worked at, problem solving was team effort, very small number of employees gave close-knit 'family' feeling. No 'politics' just straight up working dogs all :)

Cons

Pretty much left to own devices to run as hard with project in hand that I was able. Very little input or direction except for a few words in passing. ie: A week of work discounted with a single phrase by the owner when that direction was set by the Creative Director -sigh- ..communication/direction from management was almost non-existent which caused days of frustration occasionally.

Pros

free peanut, protein bar and soda

Cons

As a programmer you are supposed to understand their game engine and start contributing right away. Also, you are supposed to write perfect code ("perfect" dictated by the owner of the company who is also a developer btw). And yes knowledge of various games is more impressive there than your programming skills. so you better be a FPS, RPG, racing, XBOX, PC, Playstation, IPhone and Android gamer. And you better yap a lot.
